i know there is a certain knob star fish that eats reefs, hope yours isnt one of them

I'm sure with my luck mine will, probably have to get rid of it when I get corals down the road. I tried finding out what they were before I bought them a little while ago but couldn't find anything so I figured I'd at least keep them until I start buying corals etc.
 
Without seeing the top of the first star, it looks much like a Fromia sp. as well. Quite reef safe.

The urchin looks like a pincushion species... Primarily an algae grazer but this type will strip coralline quite quickly. I would also not trust it in a coral reef tank.

The last pic very much resembles a Fromia milliporella as you've already found.

Cheers
Steve
