I found what appears to be a starfish on the glass of my tank. He seems to like the glass because that is where he has been hanging out for the past couple of days. I couldn't get a top view but this was pretty good I thought. What do you think?

Looks like an Asterina sp. to me. Some people love 'em, some swear that they eat SPS. If you do a search, you'll find a wide variety of opinions. My suggestion would be not to remove it yet, but keep a close eye on it (perhaps having a look with a flashlight with red plastic over the light after lights out to check on its nocturnal activities). Remember that certain of our reef inhabitants will return to the same place every morning after having roamed round the tank during the night...

Yup, asterina. I've never had issues with them, but I don't keep the type of SPS I've heard they bother.
