What’s this?

Sort of a star shape but not really. Any idea?

They’re not reef safe correct?

I have a bunch of them and they’ve never caused any harm, as far as I can tell.

I’ve got more than I can count. Pay no attention to them actually. All of my corals are doing great

Never had a problem with them.

There are species that will eat coral like zoas and palys. We used to never pay attention to them and they decimated expensive colonies of zoas. It's hard to identify the bad ones then you get over run by them. We remove everyone we see and or harlequin has knocked back the population and our colonies are recovering. Me and my wife have literally caught them in the act. I'd keep an eye them for sure.
