Possible Asterina star?

Hi, does anyone know what this is?
Found it today in the tank, I haven’t seen any before this is the first one I’ve found, currently in a cup with saltwater. Separated from the main system
thanks.

Looks like it. I had one hitchhike in and just let it be until I found it perched on my zoas. Didn’t want to chance it making a meal of them so out it came.

Affirmative. Friendly hitchhikers that help the tank.

Will quickly multiply if left unchecked.

Yes, that's an Aquilonastra, commonly but incorrectly referred as an asterina.

Throw it out!

Won’t risk my corals
Thanks for the help
