Hi all,
I recently added a few coral plugs and frags, and a couple of weeks later I noticed this little hitchhiker. It looks like a small grey blob / starfish with about five very short points. He’s quite fat and not very flat, moves very slowly, and I’ve seen him change location over time.

Any idea what this might be, and whether it’s something I should remove or leave alone?

Cheers!
