Sorry for the bad pics but it was the best I could get for now. I am
curious what the little creature just right of center is. I have noticed 4
of them in my tank recently and have no clue if they are harmful or not.
It has white banding on its arms and is sorta similar to a anemone but
also looks like some sorta soft star fish. It seems to be pretty
stationary and does not move around. What is this thing ? Is it harmful to
fish or anything else that may be in my tank? If it is how do I get rid of
it?

I did some searches and looked at some pics of different hitchhiker type
brittle stars and parasites and found nothing that looked like this. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
G.
