Starfish?? Can anyone help ID this thing?
Can anyone help ID this thing? Looks like a starfish.... Never purchased no live stock, corals or rocks recently.... They just appeared out of nowhere... I have approx 10 in my tank now.... They seem to graze on corraline on the glass.. Are those bad to have in a tank??

no choclate chip. I have them also, They come in the sand or rock. They are reef frendly. They are filter feeders.

Re: Starfish?? Can anyone help ID this thing?
It is an asterina seastar.Some people say they can eat corals and others(like me) say they feed on film algae.If you see them on the glass then they most likely are the algae grazers.Most of species are algae grazers and few are coral predators.I have a ton for over a year,never loss a coral,so I have the good,algae grazer kind.

Re: Starfish?? Can anyone help ID this thing?
Hum, interesting! I guess I will let them be and see.... Like I said, so far, they've been grazing on the glass....
RyanG, I have just been crazy busy for the past year.... I started saving up to buy a home, worked 6 days a week, been taking night classes in college, shopped for a home, recently purchased a home, started paking boxes, getting ready for the big move on November 14th and getting ready for the final exam of my course on December 5th! So yeah, let's say that time has been limited, I've been saving up (which means I did not invest a lot in my tank...). I can't wait for moving day to come.... Moving the tank alone will be crazy  . We are moving about 45 minuts away from where we reside now... I will dedicate 1 day to move the tank only into the new home. I already have a perfect spot for it in the living room   This should be an interesting day... i just hope everything will go well.... Hope not to loose any livestock or corals.... I'm sure I will be requesting for tips and advise couple days prior to moving the tank!
