Can someone please let me know what this is? I put this live rock in a few months ago, and these worm like things are showing itself. They are black and white and banded. At first I thought they were baby starfish.....
thanks

In the pic I see a bunch of Serpent Starfish arms and a type of Bristleworm commonly called a Coco Worm.

Yes, my coco worm is to the left (thanks), I was taking about the black and white thin looking arms on the rock. Serpent Starfish? Are they ok in reef tanks?
