That very well may be the dreaded Colored Asterina Starfish.

Hi David. There are a few different colors of the Asternia Star Fish. The ones with color to them other then pure white are known to munch on corals. So you may want to remove that lil blue/grey looking one you got there and banish it to your sump.
