This little one came in on a coral frag.

Any thought?

Asterina possibly. A number of species of Asterina are documented coral (mostly zonathid) eaters. Other types may reproduce so prolifically they become invasive. Some are beign so I take a wait and watch stance. Secondary to that one's coloration I would keep an eye on it

I get a random asterina on my glass, and I immediately remove it.

They are cute, but I am quite afraid reproductive madness.

Thanks. Might just toss it.
