Hitchhikers.

Just got a coral order earlier today. Acclimated and dipped (possibly not long enough) now i already have 2 small white starfish on glass. Should. I remove them or are they good hitchhikers?

When dipping coral always inspect the frag plug for anything that should not be on the plug. I even scrub the plug down with a tooth brush. Normally if they came from the corals you wouldn't see the little asterina that fast. Most aquariums have these and they simply balance the population with wrasse or harlequien shrimp..

I would grab them and take them out of the tank if you are unsure and do not want them. They reproduce
