All of a sudden there seem to be long-legged (like brittle star) starfish in many rock crevices. We found 12 yesterday. Arms are about 2" long, very very thin, so they may have been there for a while. One looked like it had 7 arms, but couldn't make out more than 5 on the others. Greenish - with light and dark green stripes.

What am I looking at? What size to they get (and are they safe at large size?) In a RSM 38 gal. that's flourishing otherwise. Thanks.
 
They are mini brittle stars. Reef safe! It means your tank is maturating.
