Apiatasia will reproduce like roaches. If you have any corals or softies, watch them. The colorful ones will mow them down as well eat your coraline. However, they are a good CUC and eat bad algae. If you notice your tank getting overrun, you can get a harlequin shrimp and they will murder those stars...once the starfish are alll eaten, you will.need to supply it with SF. once a week or it will starve. I wouldn't trash it, these stars will come and go in your tank. Welcome to reefing!
