Well I killed one of these little guys while cleaning powerheads. I am thinking they are ok as I have not saw them doing any wrong, just wanted to make sure and maybe find out what the actual name is for them. Total size is just a little over an inch, and body is maybe 1/4".

Micro Brittle Star - They only get the size of a quarter and are a good thing to have as part of your CUC. I have hundreds in my tank.
 
Ok thanks. I thought they were micro brittles just making sure. I searched and all kinds of pictures come up. I have many of them too, they must multiply fast.lol
