Found this thing crawling around everything last night after I got home about 5 in the morning. It looks like a starfish. Does anyone know what this thing is and wheter or not it's going to be a problem in my tank?

Picture quality isn't exactly stellar, but hopefully it's enough for an ID.

Ophiocoma erinaceus??

Check this website out, it will help you identify. I also believe it's a type of brittle star. Good for your tank.
