As long as they are harmless I will leave them be. I like finding new hitchhikers in my tank. Thankfully my peppermint shrimp have gotten rid of the glass anemone that came on a piece of live rock I purchased. I am still new to this hobby and so far I am loving it...

I am the same way. I love the unusual. I don't like killing living things so if it wont hurt I will just leave it be. Now I am trying to decide what fish to add. I have shrimp, a goby, an urchin, and hermit crabs and snails. The goby stays hidden in his little cave and only comes out to eat. I'm hoping that will change after I get my hands on a pistol shrimp that he can pair up with. I need something that will swim around and be compatible with what I already have in the tank. Decisions decisions....After got into the hobby, my wife got hooked because of watching the tank at night and seeing all the crazy weird things that come out
so much fun stuff.
just my opinion. And on rare occasion an exceptionally lg specimen might cause trouble. But it would have to be very large. 1' or >
Not alot of things eat the Asterinas. (Except harlequin shrimp) They are likely still in there somewhere. They'll get down in the cracks of the rocks and such.
Some do eat zoas, for sure. I think there are 2 varieties. I've had them do damage to otherwise healthy colonies. (Not hijacking thread
)
If you haven't done it yet, get a flashlight with a red filter and check out your tank in the middle of the night. All sorts of stuff crawls out after the lights go out.
