I found a little star crawling on the glass today. So I have accomplished nothing today other than googling little starfish.

Odds are against it being a baby from my sand sifter. But it doesn't look as chubby as asterinas I've seen. It has a weird number of stubby little arms, but it's flat, and marbled. Asterinas seem to always be white or bluish.
I did find something about sps eating asterinas looking marbled, but my few sps seem undamaged.

This little fella is probably getting cold in the bowl he's in, so he's banned to the fuge for now.

Is it just an asterina and I've wasted my morning?
