Unknown Starfish

[thegrayreefer]

Hello, I was moving around some frag plugs when I saw this

Does anyone know what type of starfish this is?

 

[SHNICI]

Asterina Starfish. some are good CUC, some eat corals.
Do you ever saw it climbing over any of your corals ?

 

[xxkenny90xx]

Agreed. Keep an eye on your zoas!

 

[SHNICI]

It look like it's feeding on the algae you have there, which mean probably it's reef safe, but watch for another and if ever see it over corals then is bad

I've only ever seen them eat algae and zoas, and only the good zoas - the crappy brown or olive zoas they don't touch.

They aren't mad to go over the Palythoas (most of which are more dangerous and for the humans if you disturb them a bit more! )
