Starfish?

Just saw this crawling on my rock. Looks like a starfish. Thx!

yeah. asterina. I personally take them out because they multiply like crazy. They eat coralline algae too, which not not necessarily a bad thing, just leaves you with polka dot rocks sometimes =)

Thx you! I found some threads about them. I read they like zoas too. Which is where I picked this one from

I hear they sometimes bother corals. I see them from time to time in my tank. Sometime I use chopsticks to take them out. I’ve never noticed them on a coral though. If they become a problem harlequin shrimp eat them I think. But they only eat them so I’ve heard some people just let them multiply in the sump to keep those shrimp fed. Not the worst hitchhiker.

Thx I’ll keep that in mind!
