Some kind of hitchhiker on my Coraline covered lr?

Please help me identify these tiny light blue stars. They are alive because they move.

Probably asterina starfish. I'm not sure if the blue ones are bad, but the white ones are usually ok (from what I remember). They multiply fast and some people remove them from the tank when they see them because of that.
 
They kinda look like a chocolate chip with the lumps or am I just seeing that never seen a blue chocolate chip though prolly would have a much different name but still never seen that thing b4 do u have corals?

If you Google asterina starfish you'll see they look identical to what you have, and I know they can come in blue. Chocolate chip starfish have very pronouced bumps on their backs that are almost always a dark brown.

I do have some corals. I'm waiting on my new LED lights to come in before I get anymore.
