Google Asterina starfish. Harmless, good scavengers. If you get a billion of them you know your tank has a bunch of crap in it. So, as long as your tank is decently clean they won't become plague-like.

They 5 legged

Thx Myka. I hope at they are. There wasnt alot of them. But they are below the large substrate. They must have been in with the dry coarse sand I reciently got? Havn't added anything in a long time.

They look like this tho. With all 5 legs same length and white, no color

Oh, those are mini brittle stars. They stay that size. They are also beneficial, and their numbers will fluctuate according to the cleanliness of your tank.

I have been keeping fish since I was about 8, and sw since I was 10ish, and now I'm almost a couple decades older than that so I've picked up a few things along the way.

A couple of good friends of mine have nicknamed me Mindipedia.
