Something New, Different Day

New to me but hopefully not new to others. Help in the ID of these two critters? Never noticed them until this week.

Long striped strings/tentacles from the rock in multiple spots.

Little guy keeps slowly coming up then shoots back down anytime I get close except for if I stay for a while.

Just realized. Not the shrimp in the last pics but the feather like thing on the rock. Harder to see.

Striped tentacle- brittle star fish and other either a fan worm or hydroid but need pics under bright white intensity to confirm and see

How in the world can a brittle star be that far into a rock with that many tentacles just poking out? Haha.

I think it could be a fan worm as well or hydroid. I’ll get another pic soon.

Brittle stars often can look like worms cuz they stick their body as deep into rocks as they can and send there tentacles out like feeders

Micro brittle stars and a feather duster worm. I have several of those dusters in my tank and the crown on the biggest is almost an inch in diameter now. Might be Bispira sp.
