How many arms do they have. I remeber reading an article about these little starfish with like 6 or 8 leggs that eat corals the dont get big. I think i may have been on this site even.

Not sure what those would be John. Can you take a pic. I have seen lots of the little white/sand coloured mini stars in tanks, including my own. Never seen any that would harm corals though, but for sure they do exist and could come as hitch hikers on new rock.

Take a look at http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-0...ture/index.htm. Some discussion of Asterina spp. starfish there.

Most of us here in Calgary have mini starfish in our tanks. The body size is around 1/4 inch. The legs are around 1 1/2 inches long. The legs are striped with pink. If that is what you have they appear to be beneficial. I have hundreds in my tanks, and I like having them there.
