Anyone seen one of these before? Found it on the back of my Maxspect Gyre while cleaning. Is it a nudibranch?

Sorry if the pics aren't any good, was the best I could do, it was small whatever it was

Thanks for the fast response!

Can you get a clearer picture? I don't 'see' Asterina.

Could be a chiton or a stomatella snail. Clearer picture will help.

unfortunately I have already gotten rid of whatever it was. the under side of it wanted to make me think it was a leg of some sort of star but I could be mistaken I don't have a ton of experience. It also didn't seem to have any kind of shell on its back at all, don't know if stomatellas have a shell or not. I'm going to keep an eye out for another if there are any more in the tank, if I find another one I'll try and get a more clear picture, Thanks Jenn.

Stomatella look like a blob. No she'll. They are good for your tank.

I could see it being a slightly larger asterina that has lost a few of its legs.
