Is it still asterina? It is almost 2cm wide already!

Hey!

Is the below still asterina or is it something different? From what I see it only eats dust from the glass and rocks, does not come close to corals (but I am watching it!). What struck me is the size of it as comparing to others is massive, also the feeders are unique to me.

What you think?

Asterzilla. The evolved form of Asterina.

It's probably fine, does it have a red back pattern?

Yeah, that's still an Aquilonastra starfish (commonly known in the hobby as Asterina):

some of them can get up to almost 4" (~10cm). Most common ones in the hobby are tiny, but there are actually a number of Aquilonastra species that get larger than 2cm.

she looks like getting ready for asterinas' world strongmen contest or something

hahahaha, I wonder what I have in my water hahahaha Naval base is quite in a distance from where I take the water from hahaha

the back is blue and white, now this little monster ran away so I cannot find it but it will come, loves munching on glass.

edit: found it but cannot take a photo. the inside is dark blue/navy and the outside white/blueish, irregular pattern, and she is fat. Like I mean obese if comparing to others
