This guy crawled out of the new LR yesterday. It's got 7 legs and is about the size of my pinky nail. Sorry about the blurry photos... Ever since I switched to a bow front aquarium, it's been almost impossible to photograph anything in this tank unless it's right in front.

It's one of the small species in the family Asterinidae that are impossible to identify. These reproduce asexually and can rapidly build up to plague proportions in a tank. For the most part they're harmless but some of the species eat corals.
