Many thanks!

Looks like an asterina. I have them in mine and they cause no harm.

Its green and moves quite fast for its size...

+1 on asternia star. Some are harmless. Some will irritate if not eat Zoanthids. Most say that the all white ones are the harmless ones. I pick them off my zoa's when i see them and drop them into my fowl tank. Dog faced puffer loves them as a little snack.

They will cause harm.. Just wait till it has nothing to feed on then it will turn to your corals. If I were you I would take them out as you see them.

Agreed

They are fine... just also so you know... the white ones will eat algae and that changes their color a little... here is a good site for starfish
just leave them be... they will not eat everything in your tank..
