Are these good starfish or bad ones?

I got a few of them around in my nano 26. Should I remove them? I have a separate 10 gallon I'm running separately to play around with. Could I throw them in there and see how quick they multiply?

You will hear mixed things on these critters. Some have reported them eating coral and some have had no issues. You will also hear that darker ones are the coral eater and the white ones eat film algae and coraline algae. They can also reproduce really fast, which can be an issue of you do have bad ones. If it was me, I would remove them.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like it's tweezer time soon enough.
