Will this harm my acro? (pic)

[ScallopKing]

Saw it this morning. You see what I do, middle of the acro hitchhiking on it. I haven't noticed any death. Should I remove it?

I can't tell what it is. Is it an Acro Crab?

Looks like the legs of a mini starfish. I think it's no threat.

Hard to tell from the picture, but it looks the leg of a serpent starfish. Probably just moving along and not a threat.

Sorry guys about the pic - it looked good from my computer, I thought you could tell what it was. My bad.

It is a mini serpent starfish that in from another colony and moved to this one. A couple of the legs are broken as it is laching onto this acro for dear life. It doesn't move as it has been there for a couple days. Just noticed it again today and though I'd better inquire about it.

I guess they don't munch on acros?

Hey bro, see you found my thread LOL. Good to know. Yeah, it's just been sitting there for little while now. Sometimes I can't even see it through the PE. Guess I'll leave it since I haven't touched this coral in a long time it might stress it more to remove it.
