Hitchhiker I.D.

Found these two guys on a coral I bought today. Are these pest or good guys? If I shouldn’t keep them in the main tank can I keep them in the sump.

Chiton and asterina starfish (I believe). Keep the chiton. Ditch the star.

+1 on both mentioned, Chiton- good algae eater whereas asterina can affect zoa mainly and some coral and multiply in large number. I remove asterina as I see them- Just not worth it

Thanks for the help.
