Hi guys. Any id on this asterina. Is it a gibbosa?

Aquilonastra cf conandae, not Asterina

When in doubt remove it. In my opinion all asterina are bad. I wouldn’t put any semi pest in my reef.

+1 to Aquilonastra conandae. As a note, Asterina is a different (typically predatory) genus in the family, Asterinidae.
