Asterina sp. Many varieties and many opinions. Since it is obvious these ones are eating your corals it is time to remove them as you see them. Flush.

Harlequin shrimp should eat them.

I have been pulling corals out and removing them but there is thousands, and I cant tell the dif the good ones from the bad so they all go.
