    I bought this coral at LFS and after a few days i notice that there is something in the attached rock. Its look like white tentacles with black stripe. Is that a baby starfish? or something else? I have two of those.
    Please help.

    This is the picture

    Looks like it might be a mini brittle star. If it is, they're a benefit in that they eat detritus and leftover fish food :)
