This one came out of my live rock down in sump. Is it a good starfish or does it eat any corals?

Asterina starfish. There are debates on whether or not they're harmful, but the vast majority of people haven't had any issues with them damaging corals - BUT - they reproduce like crazy. They're scavengers and so they'll serve a bit of a positive purpose, but I'd yank 'em out if you get the chance...just so they don't reproduce beyond what you'd want.
