No one knows ?
Looks to be an asterina. There are mixed reviews, but I've got a number of them and never had an issue.

Mixed reviews. I chose to remove mine based on the thread above and a few others where they multiplied and infested tanks.

I'd remove it. What started out as 1 star 6 months ago has turned into a plague that has eaten almost all my coralline and is now starting in on my corals. Recently got a harlequin shrimp about 2 or 3 weeks ago who is helping bring down the numbers but it's gonna take a while for my tank to recover.
I keep plenty in my tank. Never an issue with them. IME they multiply like Bristle Worms do. The more food available the more they multiply. Also there are several different species. Watch them for a while. If you see it hanging around ON your Zoa's or other corals then you know it's a pest. If you see them mostly hanging on your rock, glass, pumps then harmless algae eater. Again this has been my personal experience. I like them!
