ID on Starfish?

Hey Folks, I'm assuming this is an asternia, but I just wanted a confirmation...I've got a couple of these, but one has a red stripe across it (couldn't get a picture of it today).

Thanks

So far he hasn't messed with any of my corals...I suppose I'll keep an eye on him until I get my new tank with a sump

I respectfully disagree with the :thumbdown

I have had hundreds, if not thousands, of asterina stars in all of my systems for years (25+ and counting). I have never had a problem with one. I find that they are harmless detritivores. I go so far as to move them between tanks if one system seems to be running low.
