Default Starfish

Just picked up two ricordea from two places and a little starfish came with it. In general is starfish good or bad for reef? It's half size of a dime.

Thank you for your inputs.

That depends on the species. I've had smaller ones with no problems. Most likely there won't be any issues but I agree, keep an eye on it (soon to be them).
