Mini starfish

Dear god. I think a astrea or however it’s spelled ran through my pump and millions of babies are stuck to my glass now lol... halp! Are harlequin shrimp readily avaliable once these get big enough to feed him for a bit? Are they coral safe? Forgive the blue image, but it shows the white dots really well on the glass lol

I have them all over my tank with no problems. Some people have had problems from them. Might want to watch very closely.

May Need better pic to identify.

Asterina are normally considered bad. But if you catch them before they reach plague proportion they are easily removed with tweezers or something along those lines. I would pay close attention next couple weeks and remove any you see.

You can manually remove them. Every time I see on the upper part of my glass, I pick them out. Hardly see these guys much.

They are good ime. 95% of the time, they are great. That 5% spoils it for everyone and now no one wants them
