Can anyone identify this?

Not sure what this is, to me it looks like some sort of partial starfish. I apologize for the grainy pictures, I have a bowfront so angles are an issue. I added a seeder rock with a piece of pulsing xenia on it and have found all sorts of life since, it's been about 6 months but I found this guy lurking around this week. Any help is appreciated!

*note, it moves around freely so I'm not sure if it's a starfish, snail or what.. I haven't seen it eat anything so I'm not sure what it's feeding on, I want to see if it's something I need to be concerned about or a new unexpected friend.

Looks like a asterina starfish that's shirt a leg or two to me.

Yea I have a bunch
They're asterina starfish
They reproduce by dividing in half that's why it looks like that

Thank you all for your replies! I get a bit uneasy when I start seeing new stuff pop up that you had no clue were in your system.

Get used to it. In fact, we've come to expect it and often enjoy it as they are good things that show up as well.
