starfish?

[75GalNBama]

Hello there,
I have recently found what appers to be a 4 legged starfish in my tank. tank has been up and running for a little over a year and yesterday there it was on the glass. About 1/2 inch across. I tried to get a pic but could not get one that bwould help at all.
I dentifying it would be great but tough with out pics but also any ideas where it came from? No new additions to the tank in a year.
Thanks for any help
Chuck

It may be asterina starfish.
Does it look like this?

thanks Tomoko,
it looks like the larger one in the middle, where would it have come from?

It probably hitch-hiked on one of your live rocks.
