I dipped a frag in bayer and found this pest. What is it?

Looks like an Asterina Starfish.

Thanks! I just googled asterina and it does not look like it. Could be it but not sure.

Here is a magnified shot.

Even with the larger photo, I still think it's an asterina star. IMHO, 99.99% harmless detritivores.

I agree. Looks like asterina to me as well.

Yeah, Asterina Stars come in many different variations, so it may not look like some pics of them, but I found a few online pics that look pretty much just like that.

Thanks! I googled again and found one pic that looks like mine. Asterina it is.
