I'd guess it's an asterina star. Typically they're lighter in color but that's what it looks like to me. In my opinion they are harmless but to be on the safe side, I'd get rid of it.
 
Looks like an asterina starfish....except those are normally white/tan rather than black. Asterinas are fairly harmless normally, I’m sure somebody will come along with a horror story about them sometime though.
