starfish

[kevinbeth]

I was cleanig my glass tonight and found what looks like 2 mini starfish. They are small and seem like they have more than 5 arms but still look like little starfish? Any ideas?

Sounds like a Asterina seastar. They are harmless.

There are a few pictures of them here: (two pictures down)

I have tons of them in my tank. While small they are quite delicious and filling if you can get enough of em. Especially with cocktail sauce. mmmmmmmm.
