What stars are these?

[DelRayTank]

Found 2 stars and one worm in some coral frags I got today. Are any of these desirable enough to be added to my DT?

The micro brittle star yes. Everything else no.

Brittle stars are great additions; I would examine closely before adding new corals to DT just to make sure you are not importing any asterinas and what looks to be a type of flatworm.

Asterina on top and serpant on bottom.
Asterina unwelcome in my tanks as they can eat Zoas and breed like mice

I like both stars and as long as the asterina is one of the white ones I don't think it will bother corals (they never have in my tank)

Looks like a polyclad flatworm in there...look for eggs.

My asterina stars only graze on algae on glass . Never had issue with my coral
