Hitchhiker...Good or Bad???

[IndianaReefer]

Wife saw this during her evening tank watching. Any help on an ID and whether i should try to get it out of there?

Better picture. It is moving around quite a bit.

Hard to tell from pic, but looks like asterina star. Pretty harmless, but I still remove them when I see them. I have read some anecdotal accounts of them harming corals, so I don't risk it.

+1 asterina star can multiply to plague proportions in some cases.

Most are algae eaters some may eat corals.

Thanks all. My first guess was an asterina, but was not 100%, so I’d rather ask. Still learning.
