6 legged stars?

Once again, the after hours party in my tank proved never to be boring. I discovered two new inhabitants last night. They appear to be little baby Harlequin Stars. Small round body and long striped (black and white) tentacles extending out. Thing is, I count 6 legs on each of them, and one of the legs is much longer than the other 5...Hummm???

Been trying to look them up all day, but my darn comp is jacked so my search always lands me in a mystery site.

What are they...??

Can't post a pic since they hide in the rock work and I don't have a cam that good...Sorry..
 
Hope this helps, is this it?

yea, and if so, 6 legs is natural. when they divide to reproduce they need 3 legs for how these stars move.
