Spidery starfish thing

[yomper]

Just looking at my live rock i placed in a container something like cotton thread with 7 or 8 legs crawled out of the live rock. any ideas what it is as my misses and daughter are fascinated by it lol. about 12mm from tip to tip and just like spider legs

A very young, small Arrow crab?

Did it actually walk around?

lol i wish i thought of it at the time but never as im half pished. it did walk around quite a lot then dissapeared but will defo have camera ready next time :)


edit no i just had a look on google it wasnt an arrow crab but i can see what you mean by comparison. it moved like a starfish so i thought it was but it had more than 5 legs,

edit again... no i just asked and they reckon it had 5 so must be a starfish or could it be something different?
