Re: Uhh I found Starfish

Looks like an asterina starfish to me. Some people think they're good, some people say they eat corals. It's up to you to decide if you want to keep them in your tank or take them out. I'd keep an eye on them and if your corals look like they are being munched on, I'd take them out. The bug things are pods. Those are good. Fish eat them. It's a sign that your tank is coming along well.

I agree with Biff.I've found a couple of those little stars in my tank.Most are great algae eaters.

Those starfish eat stoney corals, mostly sps. They can and will multiple very rapidly. They drop legs and form new starfish.

Re: Uhh I found Starfish

Yep...Asterina stars.I had some earlier this year.It never ate any corals I had.Some say they are safe and others not.The choice is really up to you.
