You mean asterina starfish
A few months back, many of the zoo frags we got shrivelled up and died. We found the same link to the asterina starfish, and did an iodine dip on the remaining frags and on the colony that also seemed to be going downhill. We also too the reef apart and found about 30 asterinas on about 85 lbs of LR. All that we found, we killed.
Anyway, we also changed the circulation in the tank when we put it back together, increasing the flow to the zoos areas. Haven't lost any zoos since then. However, we still see asterinas from time to time. They don't seem to be near the zoos when we find them, so I'm thinking the lack of proper circulation to the zoos was the culprit in our case.
How's the flow in your tank, Danny?
