I brought this home from Tropicorium. The organ pipe was mostly dead, but I gave them a couple bucks for it cause there was lots of other life on it. Anyone know what this is? Maybe some sort of anenome or basket star?
Thanks, Dan

I'm not sure it is a basket star, but it looks pretty small and so hard to tell. The 'arms' look too soft, more like feeding tentacles of something. Can you describe any behavior? Basket stars should come out and perch in the current. There is a good image of one here:
