Actually, I figured it was a brittle starfish, but what do I feed it outside of it being CuC?

If not the micro variety they like Snails or little fish. lol I’m a renewby so take my thoughts with a grain of salt. I recently found some that were smaller than that one and let them go back in, but I roll the dice that way if I remember correctly, they’re fairly easy to catch when they’re bigger if it’s not a micro brittle.

They typically feed on pods, scavenge for detritus, feed on carcasses, etc. - so fish food that sinks to the bottom of the tank would be good for these.
