I have found what look like baby starfish in my tank. I have crushed coral as a substrate and when I clean it, I constantly find these little guys getting sucked up in the vaccum. Surely they are not baby starfish. Any clues what they are? Good? Bad? Thanks for the help...

they are hitchhiker stars most likely, you don't need to take care of em in anyway, they take care of themselves. They are probably asterina stars.
