Asterina sp. pretty harmless unless they get to plague proportions. Can be sucked out with a siphon hose if they become aesthetically unappealing.

Some get fairly large and are also called cushion stars. These are carnivores and may in fact chomp on some coral. Don't know which type you have there. Maybe you can pm ophiura and point this thread out.
