Hitchhiker starfish i.d.!

[ReefandReefer]

My 2 month old reef just had its first hitchhiker! I have 80 lbs of rock from reef cleaners.org, one small tonga LR from a LFS ( purchased first week) and 4 various frags ( the perpetrators lol) so I just want to know is he safe or sump bound sorry for the bad pic. But it was the best shot I could get! Thanks fellow reefers!

By the way he's on the dead frogspawn branch....

Thanks it's in there!

 

[Calappidae]

Asterina, most are reef safe and harmless however they can form large breeding populations making it difficult to manage later down the road. If you have one there's most likely many many more.
