I know a little of people like mini brittle stars so you could try giving them away or selling them.

Most of my larger leopards and tamarins eat them and also I had a large foxface that ate them, but none of them touch my asterina stars...

Almost every wrasse will feast on them.

Bongo Shrimp. Wrasses won't take care of the problem if there are that many. I lost a lot of coral from these little ****ers

Many of the halichoeres wrasse will eat them (bristleworms also). My favorite is the dusky, but that does get quite large. My leopards have never been very good at eating pests. Harlequin shrimp will eat asterina stars but not brittle/serpent stars.
