Who noticed Arrex's cameo in ST XI?

He was in the bar having a drink.

No he wasn't. Or did I somehow miss seeing an orange alien with three arms and three legs?

Many fans thought the male alien (played by a woman) on the USS Kelvin was supposed to be Arex, but the makeup artists said that Alnschloss K'Bentayr was not inspired by Filmation's Arex.

Barney Burman's interview:

"The character of Alnschloss was not inspired nor based on Arex. I hope no one is too disappointed. It was based on an original design by the film’s amazing creature designer and a brilliant artist, Neville Page. JJ liked the design Neville had and asked if I could realize it as a character. It was the first alien to work on first day of shooting and it wowed everybody. It was further brought to life by Kasia Kowalczyk, a terrific actress and director out of New York."
