This dude is crawling around one of my rocks. He only has 3 " hands " and looks kinda like star fish . Should I be worried ?

Looks like an astarina star fish to me. Generally harmless, but they multiply quickly.
 
Yep asterina starfish. Just a hitchhiker but they can multiply pretty fast.
 
They multiply real quick. I've got them all over. When my serpent start kicks the bucket I wana get one of thoes shrimp that eats starfish in hopes that it will control them
 
Harlequin shrimp! I've got probably 2000 small brittle stars and have been contemplating one of these myself. Great to have in there, but it's getting ridiculous!!

No not usually. They are in all reef tanks pretty much, and dont do any damage.
