Unknown find maybe a star?

[mombar10]

I found something in my tank and dont know what it is. It is blood red, has multiple legs that look like fine hairs (maybe 15 to 20) has a small body apprx pin head size. It's kind of shaped like a star fish. Overall it is less then 1/4 in. Can anyone help me out on this. Thanks a bunch.

Perhaps some type of miniature brittle star. It sounds interesting.

Sorry but i need to change the discription. It now looks about 1 1/2 in long. Still a bright red but looks more like a worm with very very fine hairs about 1/2) sticking out the one end. Almost squid shaped. When i first saw it, it was appearently scrunched up. You cant mistake the red color. Its a vibrant red. Still trying to get a pic.

Bristleworm maybe?

Now it sounds like a Terebellid worm. What color are the "hairs"?

I'm confused, how did it go from a 1/4 inch to an 1 1/2? Bad veiw the first time? Where does it hang out in the tank?
