    Sorry for the horrible quality... they're pretty small though, not sure they'd come in any clearer even on my real camera...
    Any clue?

    They look like the legs of a small/micro brittle star.

    They are really common hitch-hikers.

    Chaeto carries lots of hitchhikers, including stars, baby snails, stomatellas, and aiptasia.
