I would remove it. There are some that are harmless, but most of them seem to be these:

I have those asterina starfish, they never bother anything, I say keep them

 

[jenniebutterfly]

i have tons, they have never caused problems. most people say that the ones with 8 legs harm stuff, but imo those ones are starting to split lol. thats how they reproduce. i have never seen a whole one without deformities

 

[ShaunW]

I have tonnes also, they are harmless. But do watch out for the Garf ones that Josh mentioned. They are bad.

I have a bunch in my tank.....totally harmless

 

[samster]

Sam, you probably got those from me. They're cool, if they didn't show up before you visited me its more than likely it came from the tank. Don't worry about them, got them in both of my tanks.
