Got 50 lbs of live rock this weekend. It looks awesome!!!! There was a critter on the glass, looks like a starfish with 7 points. about 1/2 diameter. Good or bad?

Sounds like some sort of star, should be harmless, but we can't be 100% sure without a picture. I had a 6 legged one hitchhike when I got my LR. Congrats on the live rock. Now the fun begins, you'll spend hours trying to find other critters, with the lights off and on...lol, I know I did

...and you'll wake everyone up at one in the morning every night to show them what you find. :hmm3grin2orange:

Most likely an asternia starfish, I have several in my tank. They are pretty cool when you see them slowly moving about. [Only Registered Users Can See Links.]
