New thing in my tank

[CanDo]

Hey friends. Long story short .... I added power heads to my tank. After a few days of fine tuning, cloudy water, turbulent sand, unhappy residents, last week's food floating by , etc.. I think I finally found a good flow for my 54 gal bow front. As I sit here enjoying it, I notice a star fish (sea star?) on the glass. I've never seen it before. What is it? Do I keep it?

The article posted above is good reading. Some species may eat coral. I've never noticed it. I like natural microfauna in my tank.
