They all look like the same species. I have a few in my tank and have never noticed anything being affected by them. I think they get a bad wrap.

On the 1st photo: #1 have more brown on the top, the #2 have clearly visible (to me) red dots, and #3 is with green coloration nothing else, the #4 is green + brown, the #5 was mainly brown/red, but by some reason it start to disintegrate (probably is dying by some reason. In the container I keeping them, al stay over peace of red macro algae, which sound to me "algae eaters" but I want to be sure and to confirm with other people before I put them in the DT, because once introduced in, only Harlequin shrimp can get them destroy if later on any of them appear to be plague, and will take all, not only the bad starfish.
