Does anyone know what this is?

It's moving around the tank so it's definitely alive

Asterina star...get rid of it. They are probably harmless algal grazers and detritivores, however, they should be watched carefully as many starfish are coral predators. They have munched on my corals.

Can grow to plague proportions if left unchecked. Some like them in their tanks. Seems that some are fine others prey on corals.,
