They do eat coraline, leaving nice white patches where it used to be pink. For that alone, I hate them.]]> Fri, 18 Mar 2016 10:13:20 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79429&PID=609787&title=starfish-id-are-they-bad#609787 <![CDATA[Starfish ID - are they bad? : Yeah, asterina.

Yeah, asterina. Never had a problem with them with any of my corals. I like watching them regenerate cut off legs haha]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:54:32 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79429&PID=609441&title=starfish-id-are-they-bad#609441 <![CDATA[Starfish ID - are they bad? : Looks like a asterina starfish....]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79429&PID=609438&title=starfish-id-are-they-bad#609438 Author: Hogie

Looks like a asterina starfish. They're not bad unless you see them on your corals. Normally they'll hang out on the glass eating algae.]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:22:01 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79429&PID=609438&title=starfish-id-are-they-bad#609438 <![CDATA[Starfish ID - are they bad? : I just saw this guy scootin around...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79429&PID=609428&title=starfish-id-are-they-bad#609428 Author: btownbrett

I just saw this guy scootin around today and pulled him out. I have a reef tank and wasn't sure if it was considered a pest or not. Let me know what you think. Thanks. ]]> Fri, 11 Mar 2016 08:46:55 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=79429&PID=609428&title=starfish-id-are-they-bad#609428
