I don't think you can get rid of them purposefully, so it's a little moot. But yes, they do seem as beneficial as any other small snail – with the bonus that they seem to do a good job reproducing on their own!
Asterina stars and Limpets are probably 90% of my cleanup crew.
hi I have a 55 gallon we have Aton of those they are harmless Intill they breed then you will have a lot of them after that if you get a clam or any coral be very cautious a way to get rid of them is to get an harlequin shrimp they will eat them also they don't get bigger than a dime.I'm hoping someone can help identify what this is. I'm not new to fish tanks, but this is my first saltwater tank. My wife seen this yesterday so I took a picture of it. I just thought it was some sort of algea growing. When I got home today it was gone. It kind of looks like a starfish the more I looked at the picture. I just want to know is it something I need to get out of my tank when I see it next time. Thanks
Well that's good to hear, any thoughts on that sponge looking thing?
Shouldn't be too hard there are 4 of them in my sump. I will take a couple of pictures of other sponges growing in the DT in a little while. Thanks for the input.I agree that it's a sponge-looking thing....watch it grow and try to keep it alive!
Yeah I do. Tanks been running for almost 3 months and there's always something new in there, its great.You've got very "live" live rock; great biodiversity and fun to watch.
Spot on mcarroll, found many pictures just like them. Thanks"pineapple sponge" is what I've seen them called.....try googling for confirmation
And they kinda look like a Q-tip."pineapple sponge" is what I've seen them called.....try googling for confirmation
They do, as of right now the most I've counted is 4. So unil there unsightly I will let them be.If those asterina starfish get out of hand (and they will eventually!!) pick up a Harlequin Shrimp. They are suppose to eat them.
