What is this in my tank? Here are 2 different pics. Im pretty sure its snails and starfish. I dont know if they are good or bad. Didnt put them in the tank and didnt know if I needed to move them to my 75 gallon tank when i take the smaller one down. Tired of fighting the algae in the small one. Here are the 2 pics.

Starfish? Have been more and more popping up over time.

Snails? Tiny snails are have grown in time.

Do I need to move these to the other tank or get rid of them? I know they are a hitch hiker but dont know if they are good or bad.
 
Just algae grazers. Some debate on asterinas being reef safe or not but I've never had problems with them.
 
Limpets are fine the Astraea stars will eat coralline algae and some of the red ones will eat Zoas...
 
k sounds good. have no problem with them eating corals. all of them are always grazing on algae on the glass. just didnt know if i should keep or get rid of. thanks
