I have one that's not quite a quarter size but bigger than most of mine. I was just wonder if it's not an asterina?

He hasn't bothered anything that I know of. He's just starting to not look like an Asterina. Next time I see him I'll try to get him from the top, he frequents the rock work

That’s the biggest I typically see. Hopefully he didn’t get that big eating your corals lol
Speak of this I just recently after 10 years of reefing decided that Asterina do actually eat coral when I seen them literally eat the flesh off of one of my corals. Now I told wife and kid it’s a game who can pick the biggest pile out with the tweezers
