I am new to all of this and was wondering if you could tell me what the live animals are growing in my refugium that look like baby serpant star fish

Probably are baby starfish or a small species. Without a pic, its hard to say. If you put live rock in, there may be quite a few hitch-hikers that came in with it.

Keep looking, my current tank has been up for 3 years now and I'm still seeing new stuff !

It could be many different types of starfish, but Asterina Starfish are very common and they are small. Do a google search for them.
