Can anybody identify this hitchhiker sea star?

I tend to agree with you Myka, unless I can find information that tells me this guy is safe, it will probably go away.

I am not 100% sure but the color formation reminds me the Sand Sifting Sea Star
If you have LV this is a good sanitary

I don't think it is a sand sifting star like those ones, but who knows? Nothing I have seen yet on the net matches it perfectly. I will try and get a better picture of it when I can. Right now it has gone missing in my sump. Probably busy eating all the fauna in the sand or dying somewhere...
