There's really nothing wrong with brittle stars... I have one that hitch hiked with one of my acroporas. He moves from one acro to the next... but doesn't hurt anything. There are some acropora crab inside each acro... and they're still alive and well.

As for your unidentified long, white tentacled anemone.... be careful that it might be aptasia. Hope your peppermint takes care of those.

Brittle star should be fine, the green ones can get quite large and go after fish if not fed well, though I never had a problem with mine.
The white tentacled pink tipped anemone may be a condylactis, less light demanding but rarely hosts fish. Messy if they decide to check out :eek:
enjoy,

I have a condylactis and it actually hosts a sebae clown but I don't really recomend that because the anenome tends to shrviel and then back to full size alot and the fish tends to beat it up when it is shriveled may be bad for them but they are cheap to replace....Dan
