All the new subclasses from Tasha's are awesome, but I've noticed a problem with the Way of the Astral Self Monk. Attacking with your Arms of the Astral Self is Listed under Actions with both Str/Dex and Wis attack bonus options, but the Arms of the Astral Self are not listed under Bonus Actions, although traditional unarmed strikes/flurry of blows are.
Under the Martial Arts feature of the monk, it states that you can make an unarmed strike as a bonus action if you take the attack action, which explains why the normal unarmed strikes are listed under Bonus Actions. But, The Arms of the Astral Self state that:
You can use the spectral arms to make unarmed strikes.
So if you can make a bonus action unarmed strike (if using the attack action), and you can use your astral arms to make unarmed strikes, it seems like you should be able to make a bonus action unarmed strike with your astral arms. But, the Arms of the Astral Self are not displayed as a bonus action.
