this thing is tiny, the legs are like the thickness of hair, ( alittle bit bigger)

Just some background of what my tank has been through in the last 24 hours, My PC light fell into the tank while it was on, (not good) after that my scarlett hermit jumped out of his shell and died, my frogspawns have gone into hidding, my 2 fish are still given er as well as the rest of my live stock, but my corals are in shock a bit two, not sure what this little dude is so i scooped him up and put him in some tupperware until one of yu guys tell me he is safe to put back in

it looks like a baby sand sifting brittle star?

i wonder if he will be safe in my tank, or even how i can track his progress, i dont know how he got in there, maybe he was livving in the scarlett hermit crabs but, and kicked him out

Ophiuroid. yes its safe, you scored. they stay small.

I have dozens of those guys in my tank.  They do stay small (I think the biggest I've seen is maybe an inch across) and tend to be mainly nocturnal.

Agreed, those are perfectly normal and safe.
