What The Heck Is This????

We appear to have some kind of starfish in our tank, that must have come from the LR or LS. It's as white as a ghost, very small, and has legs that look like dental floss. It stays in the sand bed. I did a search on the forum, and found a discussion on Asterina, but the pics I found of Asterina look nothing like what we have.
Any ideas what this may be.
Thanks.

The body is about the size of a pin head. The legs are about 1/2" long, and there are definitely 5 of them. My wife has seen a couple of them so far.
I just hung MH's a couple of weeks ago....could this be what triggered them to come out?

I have a bunch on mini-brittles. I don't know why they show up when they do, but I mostly see mine at night and only up against the glass. Never in full view, but here's a pic. The surrounding rock there is CC, to give you an idea of the size.

That camera can do so much better than I can. But I got a Fugi Finepix S7000. Got a good deal from e-bay.
