Asterina on my foxface...

[Gobi-Wan]

Hi all. I have always had plenty of asterina stars but never seen or heard of one crawling on a fish. Today my one spot foxface has one on its side... is this bad? I assume it crawled on last night when the foxface was wedged in his sleeping spot. Anyone heard of an asterina star hurting a fish? Not too keen to try to catch the foxface but i guess i can if i have to. im pretty sure he'll go in the trap. or should i just let it go?

Oh that’s crazy. Never seen that before. I would probably just monitor. I would think if the starfish was bothering the fox face he would scratch it off on something.

Sounds like a wild ride for the starfish.

They get on my lionfish sometimes. It has never caused a problem.
