Please help me ID. Looks like heads on both ends or maybe two touching?

Looks like 2 legs of an asterina starfish- some ppl say they’ve eaten their soft corals but I’ve never noticed it. Lots of people will say to remove it though

What’s weird is it looks like there is tentacles on each side of it...

Looks just like the texture of the starfish, but if they’re coming out of the top of each arm, or you see tiny circles on the glass, then they’re tube feet, which starfish and urchins use to move around

It is a sea star, formerly in the Genus Asterina, now named Aquilonastra. There are 28 species, only a couple are predatory, that one shouldn't give you any trouble

Most of the ones we see are Aquilonastra conande. I have no idea why they are mainly one species but I guess some things are just meant to be unknown (same reason why out of all the various types of vermetid snails, sponges, and feather dusters in the wild we get like 1 species of each)

@Travis Stewart keep an eye on them, they can spread fast. Unfortunately had ones that loved zoas.
