What are these??

[eyeneedsumhelp]

Sorry, but I don't have pics.....
I've seen a few of these things in my tank, and just wondering what thay are.
They look like a starfish, but are only about 1/4 to 1/2" across. Some have 3 limbs, and some have 5 or 6. They are white in color, and seem to like to climb around on the glass afetr the lights are out.
I've only noticed them recently...within the last week or so.
Any ideas?

Look up Asterina stars

That's them!
So are they good? Assuming just an addition to the clean up?
Where did they come from? I haven't added any rock or sand to the tank for quite a while.

Depending on who you ask...IMO they are harmless...there are different types that may not be good, but I really have no clue which ones..I have a bunch and they don't mess with any of my stuff
As far as where they come from

I have some of these as well, they are harmless and usually come in on liverock. Did you get some new corals recently?? They might have come in on that. I think they are so cute.
