Good or bad inside my algae reactor ?

[Djkoleohn]

So I set up my algae reactor a couple weeks ago and the chaeto is growing great but I noticed a bunch of these little starfish growing in there and also this worm .... curious to know what they are and also if they are dangerous for my tank

Brittle starfish and bristle worm. Harmless. Good clean up crew members

Cool thanks , should I toss them I. The tank when trimming off the chaeto

You can if you want to. Or you can leave them. Just be careful and don't hand handle that bristle worm. They have little fiber optic like bristles all down their sides and once they poke you they get stuck in your skin and are hard to remove.

Thanks for the heads up , that’s all I need right now haha

Agree with @crabs_mcjones all good guys. I would just leave them.
