While the debate is still out on whether these seemingly innocuous echinoderms are bad for a tank, I would say without a doubt that they multiply like rabbits. I've been pulling these out of my tank for months since I found more than one on my birdsnest corals. This count in this pileup is 128 asterina, and that doesn't even include the 10-20 I pulled out before I started collecting them!

I have quite a few in my system. They are mostly white ones. Never seen them hurt any of my corals. They do knock down my coraline algae on my tank walls.
