Is this asterina ?

I've noticed these little starfish-like things on my glass. They are maybe 1 cm long and seem to be causing no harm. I don't know if the fish eat them or what, they seem to come and go. They don't seem to be messing with my corals at all..

Yep asterina. Some mess with coral, some are harmless. Can't really tell which til you catch them up to no good.

They also tend to reproduce rather rapidly. Find a way to get rid of them is at all possible.
