It's possible... I don't trust those Asterina stars at all. Some of them are harmless, but there are others that tend to eat corals. The fact alone that it's hard to distinguish between the two is reason enough for me to remove them on site.

Those are Collonista snails in the second picture. A harmless grazer, but they can reproduce like rabbits in a tank if condions are right.
