Some typeof brittle.....as a rule they are generally considered reef safe....but I've seen reports of the green ones tending to make snacks of stuff folks would prefer not to be snacked on. Yours looks kind of greenish in the pic.....

that appears to be a green bristle star. They grow pretty big and can eat other creatures, but generally the bristle stars are reef safe. It is just that the green bristle star can get over a foot in diameter and be fairly aggressive.
