What is this and is it good or bad?

Looks like some kind of star fish. I heard that 6 legs is okay and 5 legged o es are bad. I have quite a few 6 leggers in my tank and never had a problem. I'm no expert and I'd like to see what others have to say.

Asterina starfish.  Some say no problem, some say kill on site.  I have a couple in few system that have never hurt anything, and I never know how many legs they will have!

I think they are harmless but multiply quickly. I have had them,  but I'm not a fan of them because one becomes five and then 25

Thanks guys,  I have seen 2 over the last few months. I think I will leave them for now but keep a watchful eye out.
