im hoping someone here has seen this thing before. it came with my green star polyps i purchased at J&L last month. i thought it may have been some funky kind of coral but it has since moved and grown.

Heres a pic of it at TRT where they cant seem to help either...

I guess some sort of starfish too. Maybe its concentrating all its energy into the fat leg at the moment It could very well have been damaged and thats why it has a lesser number of legs.

Yolk sack....
I wouldn't worry about the leg count...or the color. Could be a developmental thing.
(hopefully someone will properly id it)

How about Linckia multiflora? I had one hitch a ride from Indonesia (Kanai?) but it didn't last long.
