Kindanewtothis Posted July 29 Author Share Posted July 29 How many asterina star fish is too much? I'd say I have 20 of them just on my walls so much more in the tank. They are not bothering the corals so far. Thinking about an harlequin shrimp but I'm not sure because of the pistol shrimp. Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 You don't want a Harlequin Shrimp. They'll take care of your Asterina Stars, but then you'll need to constantly purchase sea stars to feed it. The Asterinas' population will grow and shrink depending on available food. I had hundreds in one of my tanks. In general, I wouldn't worry about them. Quote Link to comment

But if it's not too bad (the asterinas) it's not worth it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 They can reproduce by having a leg break off. I believe that you can start a population with just a single asterina star. 1 Quote Link to comment
