Minmay Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 So I see asterina starfish in my tank. I've read the debate of good/bad. I havent noticed mine eating any zoas or other corals. Has anyone had bad experiences with them? Should I let it be until I notice a problem? Quote Link to comment
BustytheSnowMaam Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 They're harmless, but they reproduce like bunnies and some people consider them unsightly. If you trade corals and you pass them along in the coral, you may get a rep for spreading aquarium STDs. Some people don't mind them. I can't stand them. It's a personal preference. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I have seen them munch a little coralline Algae but nothing major. The ones I have are grey. 1 Quote Link to comment

The toadstool didnt look harmed and it stayed fully open. Mine are grey too. I guess if it ever gets too bad I can always buy harlequin shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment
