Just saw this starfish

So I just found this starfish in my cycling tank. Can anyone identify.

Looks like asterina ??? I get rid of them when I see them.

It’s a Asterina.. I would keep a eye on them they reproduce fast and some eat Zoa’s

They’re 50/50 on pests or not, as for me and my house we believe you should......

 

[P-Dub]

I'm a firm believer that they should go as they reproduce quickly, and under the correct conditions, to biblical proportions. Better to nip that one now, IMHO.

 

[Jsimon]

Roger that I will kill the sucker asap

More like a 95/5 chance. A large majority of species dont eat coral, but that 5% give the whole genera a bad rap.

Of course now he has disappeared. I will remove them as I see them thanks everyone!
