Baby Starfish - Is this the bad kind?

[edmond]

I just noticed this baby star fish on my live rock. I started my tank about two months ago.

I read that these baby star fish can be bad for coral, and I would like to add coral in the future.

Is this and Asterinas? Should I get rid of it?

Yes, it's an asterina. If you have one, you more than likely have others that you just haven't noticed yet. I've had them in my tank since startup, along with corals, and have never had any issues.
