Ok to put in tank?

Just got a shipment from a Black Friday purchase from a reputable vendor. Packed very well, was impressed.

One on the acans has this starfish riding along, it's up on the side of the bag.

Have been pretty particular what I have put into the tank to date, is

Asterina starfish. It's totally up to you. For the most part they're harmless, but have been rumored to munch on soft corals. And their numbers can become insane quickly if there is too much extra food in the tank.

Dont do it, but if you like it I have a few quadzillion you can have. Mostly harmless and the kids love them.

I flushed about 80 between last night and this morning. +1 from the above, but they do eat coralline if it starts getting abundant.

Wow, I've never seen an asterina that big and that perfect.... most of mine had several legs missing or had extra legs..... very rarely saw one with 5. And it doesn't look as white as mine..... wondering if that's something other than asterina?
