i agree with sasscuba got a few and never hurt any corals research does show not all are bad, if you don't want them add a Harlequin Shrimp they each starfish and urchins.

yup. better safe than sorry. I don't like to take risks like that - just angelfish. Too hard to get them out cuz they are so small and hard to find - at least for me. My eyes are going bad with old age.

These starfish do eat coral, they go after SPS mainly but can also eat LPS they general will not harm softies, Zoos, mushrooms or anemones. They do multiply very quickly, but no worries if you only see one or two every so often just grab them out whenever you see them.

If you choose to leave them in they will get to a point that you won't be able to see into your aquarium, because they are everywhere.

Sasscubba is correct that reef central has some good info, but as all forums go keep in mind everyone has an opinion, with different levels of experience. If you want the most accurate info you should purchase a book or look at wetwebmedia.com. The people on this site are marine biologist, so you will get scientific answers.
