Hi all,
I just set up my first reef tank yesterday, a 29 gallon biocube. The live rock has some hitchhikers on it and I spotted a few of these little guys. I'm curious if anyone knows what they are specifically, are they reef safe? This was taken with my cell phone camera so I apologize for the poor quality. Thanks everyone in advance!

That's what I originally thought too but they are blueish in color and where the asterina stars have sort of uneven legs, these are more symmetrical so I wasn't really sure. There's about a handful of them and they all look identical so I thought I would check. Thanks for the help :)
 
yes asterina there are many different colors of them from solid white to brown and so on. their legs are not all the same from species to species. but what you have is an asterina regardless
