Cant be an asterina!

If this is one, it's the biggest one I've ever seen! Pictured on overflow box of 180 gallon, tank lights off and using a flashlight plus camera phone, any thoughts?

Looks like one to me.

Oh yeah, they can get pretty big! I've seen some almost the size of a quarter. Crazy they just seem to appear out of nowhere that size, but they do.

+1 on asterina. I've seen a few large ones in my tanks before.
