F fiveironguy Feb 23, 2007 #1 Can anyone tell me what this thing is? It looks like a starfish that's missing 2 of it's legs. I thought that's what it was, but I have two of them that are exactly the same. Any thoughts? alt="">

D DalaiTom Feb 23, 2007 #2 Asterina star. Generally harmless but apparently sometimes they decide to munch on corals.
S Serk Feb 23, 2007 #3 Asterina Starfish... Some people think they're coral eaters, some people like 'em (I fall into the "I like 'em" camp personally) BTW, that chocolate chip starfish IS a coral eater, just FYI...

G GraviT Premium Member Feb 23, 2007 #5 Serk's right. If you have corals in your tank then that Asterina is the least of your worries.
D death2oatmeal Feb 24, 2007 #6 but if you do have corals i would get rid of the chocolate star asap.
