Hitchhiker Star ID-Ophiura

Just found it this morn in my 'fuge. kinda small yet, little less than a dime. Tried to get some close up pic's.
What i am worried about is that my tank is only like 6 mths old. Dont know if he will make it? Dont even know what kind it is. There is nothing in the 'fuge but macro, pods, and a coupla snails.

I used to have one of those who sat way up in the corner of my tank for a good several weeks.. he was missing a couple legs... then he disappeared.

If im not mistaken, asternia(sp) star. Does not get any bigger than a dime...not harmful. Reproduces by dropping a limb.
