Starfish ID

[spw4949]

I brought home some starfish on some recently purchased live rock & was hoping for some help with an ID, unfortunately I have no pics! So I noticed 1 maybe 3 weeks ago & 3 weeks later I can see 6. They are all VERY small with the largest being maybe 1cm. They are all beige in color with dark brown flecked throughout with a spot of reddish orange at the base of each leg. I realize they are juvenile & going by description only is tough but I'm trying to figure out what they are to make sure they won't become a nuiscance. The tank is only 6 weeks old & I plan on adding corals so would like to find out what I'm dealing with. Hopefully I'll be able to get pics soon. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Look up asterina stars. They stay pretty small.

Most are pretty much harmless detrivours and may occasionally munch on a bit of coralline algae. Some less common species have been seen munching on sps. Usually a good addition to a diverse CUC.
