Starfish
 
Just picked up two ricordea from two places and a little starfish came with it. In general is starfish good or bad for reef? It's half size of a dime.

Thank you for your inputs.

That depends on the species. I've had smaller ones with no problems. Most likely there won't be any issues but I agree, keep an eye on it (soon to be them).

I have tons of them....
never seen them touch a coral.
maybe I'm super lucky.

they are annoying getting into weird places though...
