looks like some kind of chocolate chip star fish not reef safe maybe

Defiantly from the Asteroidea family. There are over 1500 species, some reef safe, some not. No need to panic. I would just watch and make sure he/she is not munching on your corals. I'll look around a bit later tonight and see if I can find the species.
