    Hmm, hard to tell from the pic, but if it's not a brittlestar (does it only have two legs/antennae?) it could be a vermetid, which I think is what ingtar was suggesting. There are some that have striped antennae. Here's a similar one:

    Serpulorbis squamigerus

    Cheers,

    Original poster already confirmed it was a starfish as shown in 55gfowlr's picture post.

    just goggled spaghetti worm..it looked nothing like those.this wasnt wormy it was snakey.It didnt wiggled or squirm it was stiffer then that.it wasnt skinny and the tentacle was larger at the base and got thinner towards the tip.It was a grey and blue color and segmented.Thats the best i can do on describing it.I have been on the look out for it to get a better pic
