I just noticed this little guy after doing my maintenance on my tank. Any ideas what this is? Thank very much in advance!

Astrea star fish. I would say harmless to everyone else except Zoanthids. They like to munchie on my high end Zoas :(

That's amazing. We also have 3 sandsifting starfish in our tank too. I wonder if he was a hitchiker :D

 

[JMMJ13902]

Definitely hitchhiker from the live rock. They can multiply real fast. If you break of one of the leg...couple days later it will become a new baby...try and see lol no kidding :)

That's incredible. Going to read more about them. Thankyou so much!!!

Why so excited, I think you didn't catch the part about them being vile creatures, who's only goal is to bring you misfortune.

I have a few in my tank, they have not touched a zoa yet, and it has been a year... Just know that there are two different types, one good and one bad... they are not able to be told apart for what I know of.

Most likely they are majanos anemones... they grow like weeds, best remove them since they are a pest like aphasia.
