Is this little starfish bad?

Are these little guys ok or should I pitch them

I found 2

Yes and no. I had a few in my tank and they explode in numbers practically over night. The multiply quickly.

Mine eat algae and not zoas. My zoas are practically invasive.

Yeah mine have been leaving the zoas alone and feeding on algae also

I have them in my tanks and don’t worry about them. I’ve got multiple tanks so If I do see one in DT and if I feel like transferring it to a another tank then I do, if I don’t feel like it I just leave it. Nothing to stress over or get excited about.

There are a ton of different species, only a few cause a problem is what I have read/been told

Thanks I think I'll leave them for now. they seem to leave my corals alone and stay on the glass or sand
