Vermetid ID?

[Reefer37]

Anyone help ID that these are vermetid snails underneath my new ricordea? Just notice it tonight.

I'm not positive but it kinda looks like a couple bristle star legs

That thing still be alive after 2 coral dips? I'd love for it not to be a pest. Lol

Get some tweezers and pull it off then you'll know for sure and be able get a better picture

Please don't rip the brittle star's legs off.

It's a good member of the tank, as others have said. Micro brittle starfish

99% sure you guys are right. No harm was done to the star! :)
I'm gonna watch him and see how he does. He isn't gonna eat up all my microfuana and die like sand sifters, is he? I only have a 45g tank.

Totally different than a sand sifter.

He's a Florida, still newer to the hobby, so wanted to try the easier of the two. He's a really nice orange/purple, with a really bright neon green mouth. Pretty cool actually.

I love mine they have green mouths we feed it about every 2 days but not sure how he gets the food to the mouth
