starfish ?

i've had a temporary tank set up for 3 months now - since moving house .

rehoused fish and one greenish starfish .

friday evening saw what appeared to very small ( baby ? ) starfish , less than half inch across .

any ideas on what it may be . it was mobile and adhering to low velocity pump outlet , then slid against current inside filter housing .

thanks 4 any ideas

Here is a picture of a very very small starfish looking critter I have found in my tank. They have never gotten any bigger. tip to tip max is no more then half an inch. I have a great picture of one but I cannot seem to get my pictures to load up.

Reef Addict, Great Photo! What type of "mother"starfish do you have in your tank. Is is a brittle star?
