Are these starfish?

[paneubert]

Some sort of starfish maybe? I tried to grab one with some tweezers and he retracted and balled up to where I couldn't grab. I just wanted to see if they were planning on eating my Zoa's. Bad picture, but I will try to get a better one.

that is a Zoa polyp at the bottom to give you some size reference.

kinda looks like a zenia polyp. or a star polyp. or a colt? need a better pic. but i bet someone will chime in with the correct answer. maybe a pipe organ polyp? do they move?

I rotated the rock that they were on so the Zoa's would have more light and have some clear area to grow upwards. I did this forgetting that I was trying to identify these zenia/colt/star thingies.....So now I have no idea where they went. I will keep an eye out and see if they show up again.

Could be anthelia too. Mine would shrivel into the rock when tiny like that.

But if there's a tube, it's more than likely micro dusters like mentioned.

Anthelia, definatley NOT feather dusters or any other tube worm. The feathers would have color, but not to our naked eye, they would look totally clear.....
