possibly mini brittle stars

and bristle worms

especially if you see them close to dark and/or in chaeto

Thanks the stars are definately asternia. The pictures in the links confirm that. the red thread things still not sure will have to keep searching. Im on vacation now but will get some pice in a week...maybe that'll help

The “worm-like” orange thing is most likely a hair or spaghetti worm. Either one is good. Here’s the hair worm that is cruising around my tank

I believe the hair or spaghetti diagnosis is correct. I did'nt notice the tenticles by the head but I'll look closer when I get home.
I find new things in the tank and I freak out wondering if everything is going to be killed or something. I dont dip new coral but I think it's time to start. I'll look around but any suggestions here?
