Man, I feel you. I’m not exaggerating...I bet I have 2,000 of them in my 220. Some of them are as big as a quarter. My two triggers and pink face wrasse probably probably wouldn’t be buddies with a harlequin. I’ve read that linka starfish will eat asterina, but those have a bad survival rate. Probably just a fact of life for me.

@Chase_Nano you may have few enough to pick out by hand. I suggest wait one hour after lights out and you should be able to pick off most of not all of them. I’m with @Sawdonkey, I have a lot of them. I pick off dozens at a time every so often.

They sit on zoas in my tank and make them close up. Otherwise no issue with them. I don’t even try to get rid of them.
