I saw this thing slowly crawling around today. It only has four arms. Note the eggrate for scale. Color wise, the "flash" picture looks more accurate.

Is it good or bad for reef? TIA.

Looks like a very large Asterina Wega Starfish to me... I've heard some say that they are a nuisance starfish, mostly because they reproduce so quickly but I've always had them in every tank I've ever set up and have never viewed them as a nuisance.
