Little snaily like things

Ive been seeing this in my tank. What is it. I don't know how it got there. Will it harm my tank at all?

Do they look like this? http://reefkeeping.com/joomla/images/stories/pest/stars/DSC_1068.jpg

If so, Asterina stars. Hitchhikers on rock and corals. From what I've read, generally harmless in a fowler setup, but eats polyps and some soft corals.

Not a crisis, but pick them out when you see them.

they mostly just munch on coraline but since I caught one on my zoas they all get banished to the refugium ..

Just grab them with your fingers. No worries.
