So many people say asterinas will populate fast. I have seen 2 in my tank over the past 18 months. I believe it's irresponsible to just say that, like so many things in this awesome hobby. I thinks it's very important to share your personal experience. But I think too many people just repeat and exaggerate what they heard or read. Just my opinion. Not looking to start a fight!

Not having any experience with many different inverts and corals, I would expect advice from this board to be sound.
I returned a birds nest frag to the seller because I was told on this forum that it can reproduce and becomes a nuisance. The individual I returned it to told me that was not true. Who do I believe. He has about a 1000 gallons of frag tank in is basement. I want to believe he is correct.

I understand what you're saying. I'm only 18 months into this awesome hobby. I have learned to be Leary of people that just say things vs people that talk about their personal experience. I only have a 30 gallon tank so I have no room for error. I guess I am saying, experiences in this hobby tend to go both ways. Use your best judgment and keep an eye on things. Personally I wouldn't worry about it since you haven't written about coral loss.
