Critters from dipping corals

[John3]

I dipped a few new corals today and found these 2 hikers in the container. Not sure what they are. They were hard like a shell and shaped kinda like a T. Almost look like tiny starfish with not enough legs. Any ideas? One is on its back and the other opposite in the pic.

Bottom is asterina star, not sure what the top one is. More i look at it it could be a darker colored asterina as well.

That was fast! They didn’t like the Coral-rx One bit. Not being sure I tossed them. I hate killing stuff but I’m now at the point where I don’t need anything snacking on the nice stuff.

I think the top is the top of an asterina and the bottom one is the bottom of an asterina.
