Starfish ID please
I just noticed a couple weeks ago that I had a "new" starfish, and tonight I found a second one. They're aprox 16-19 mm across. They look a lot like astrea stars but a lot bigger (and they both have 5 arms). They seem to be grazing on the rocks and leaving corals alone so I'm not too worried, just curious what they are

Starfish ID please
What color are the from top?
Grey/white? I just looked into my tank. They are asterina. I have tons the are on rocks, glass and everywhere else. They will eat algae and dead matter. I thought they were eating my Zoa but on close inspection I realized they were cleaning the dead ones and not bothering the healthy polyps. Last edited by strider; 04-14-2015 at 03:33 AM.

Asterina sp starfish. I used to think they are harmless (some species of them are), but some are definite coral predators. I consider them all pests and remove any I see.
