I'm thinking this is an asterina. I've seen a few get bigger, but not this big.

About a dime. Yeah lights were just about to go off. Hence the blues. I'll see if I can find it tomorrow. First time I've seen it.
I would say a dime is about right for asterina starfish max size

Hmmmm, I don't have Zoa's. Mostly Acros. I'll keep an eye on it.

Well, my numbers of them are dwindling. And like I said I don't have any Zoa's. They have been nothing but algae eaters for me.
