Asterina starfish....some species are pests but the one in your pic appears to be a "safe" one.
 
I have many of those in my tank and have never had an issue with them. One of them about the size of a dime.
 
Fun fact, they actually reproduce by splitting themselves in two. That's why they mostly have 2 shorter feet. Here in germany they call them "goosefeet" stars.
If they get out of control you can manually catch some out and usually find someone with a harlequin schrimp very happy to take them as they are it's one and only foodsource.
