Default Unexpected surprises in my live rock?

Is it common to find marine life in live rock that isn't algae and bacteria? So far I have 2.5 lbs of live rock that I purchased from my LFS and I have seen what appears to be bristle worms and a maybe a baby starfish?! The starfish thing is on the glass. Can anyone tell me if that is indeed a starfish?

Certainly looks like a seastar - but couldn't be completely sure from that picture. I tried my hand at a saltwater aquarium years ago and I remember getting some strange worms in my live rock. One of the worm-things did a good job killing some fish... so I'm still not sure what it was.

But grats on a seastar! I love them so! :D

Just a little astrea starfish. They stay small and are pretty much harmless.
