Icon5 Please Help Dont Know What It Is

I Have What Look Like Tiny Green Star Fish That Have White And Possible Red Stipes On The Legs Green Or Grey Body's. There Are Alot Of Them All Of A Suddon. I Have Not Added Any Thing New To My Reef Tank In A Year. Dont Know Where They Came From Or If They Are Bad. Please Help! I Also So A White One . They Have The Same Body Style As A Fancy Serpent Sea Star But Wrong Color. Also I Have Noticed Alot Of Bristle Worms. Should I Worry About Them? A Couple Of My Stony Corals And My Open Brain Have Stated To Have Problems Could These Little Critters Be The Problem?
Thanks For Your Help
Michelle

Like Debra said a picture would help. As far as the bristle worms goes, as long as they don't get real big they usually are not a problem. I have a bunch in mine as a long as they stay small they are good detritus eaters. They are a couple species that are known to nibble on coral. If it turns out you have one of those they can be removed with a bristle worm trap or other various methods.
