First of all please let me introduce myself, my name is Alex and I am from Miami, Fl. Great site by the way it has helped me a lot setting up my tank.
ok this is my 60 gallon cube that has been up and running for about 3 weeks now, last night while looking at the live rock I saw a couple of things that called my attention, the first one was easy to identify it was a mini bristle star which from what I understand they are harmless, please correct me if I am wrong and the second thing was this long skinny tentacles that seem to move like searching for food. please see video and let me know what you think.

If looks like digitate hydroids, but it's hard to tell by the video. Would you be able to get some pictures?

Do they look like this (http://www.melevsreef.com/id/digitate_hydroid.html)?

Definitely not a Digitate Hydroid, but I'm not sure what that would be?
