Looks like a dirty asterina starfish. I would say friend. Some say certain ones eat zoas but I have never had an issue with them
 
Aquilonastra sp. or Asterina sp., if you keep Zoas: Foe, if you don't: Friend 😅
Not all eat zoas and if they have enough other things to eat they might also leave them alone, but I had the meat some VERY expensive polyps 😢
