Well HELLO there!! :-)

Just was walking by the tank a minute ago and saw this guy hanging out on the glass.

I have never put any starfish in the tank that I am aware of. He must have come in on either my UC order that came in yesterday (found a crab in the dip bowl that I hope survived) OR maybe it came in with the LRO order that arrived on Saturday. Wherever he came from, I am happy to see it.

I think its an Asternia starfish.

Asternia appears to be the case. Not terrible but have been known to get a bit out of hand. I think I also read that some fancy eating zoas but don't quote me on that. Just be careful and keep an eye on things just to be safe.

Thanks guys.. I see these guys all the time in LFS tanks.. Hopefully it won't make a treat of my zoas. I don't see it anymore. It is not on the glass and I cant spot it on the sand. Not sure any of my fish would have been able to make that quick of a snack of it... Guess I will see in time..
