Been watching my tank at night i now have approx a dozen little red Brittle stars in the Rocks. I see them poking their legs out when i feed?

I have a bout a billion.  Totally harmless.  I've never seen them attack anything at all.  I pour about 50 of them out of the filter socks when I change them.

The little white stars are the pesky ones, these ones seem to just be scavengers.

They CAN be, that being said, some people have issues, but I know lots that don't.
