Has anyone seen Asterina Stars munching on sponges? I've witnessed it twice the past couple days in my tank. A "larger one devowered some blue sponge that was under a lps colony and saw a small one in the sump munching away at black sponge growing on the glass. He was on it last night and this morning you can see the area he ate...
 
Yike! I didn't know they would do that. That may explain why I've lost one sponge recently and another is looking pretty bad, lately.
 
I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. After a little research I have found nothing saying that they do eat sponges but I am 100% sure they have eatten it in my tank.
