Hi
Would anyone be able to tell me what this tiny hitchhiker is?

Some Asterinas (like the one you have) are harmless algae eaters, others will eat certain corals (zoas, organ pipes & candy canes).
All Asterina species can reproduce very quickly and plague a tank to unsightly proportions, that's why almost all hobbyists consider them a pest.
