Help identifying what this might be??
Can anyone please tell me what this is?? I spotted it on my glass and it's moving really slow.

not all asterinas are coral munchers... that one looks harmless... they do graze algae.
i wouldn't worry . |

I'd remove the starfish as well.
Until somebody can distinguish the good Asterina starfish from the bad ones without a doubt, I'll continue to treat them all as bad.

And they grow to plague proportions. When I finally started learning about how some of them are bad, I ended up taking over 300 out of our 75 gallon tank. I started with 7 two years earlier. I still occasionally find one a month that I need to get rid of. I do it as soon as I see it. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk |
