Asterina star fish, how big do they actually get

[jeffrey750750]

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?

Wow that is large

That’s the biggest I typically see. Hopefully he didn’t get that big eating your corals lol

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

I’ve had some pretty big ones but definitely not that big. Are you feeding it reef roids or something?? :)

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
