asterina stars eating zoas?

[wreck]

I have been battling these buggers for a long time. so the only way to get rid of these is to remove em by hand or get the shrimp?.

I think I've managed to remove them all by hand in my nano (8gal). Apparently they were eating more than just the zoas as I now have a crazy number of tiny snails all over the place (or maybe they just hatched or something, I have no idea what new snails look like, these guys are teeny tiny). I still have the one zoa from the frag that got munched on so hopefully it does well.

Now to attack the main display tank. I siphon monthly or so but I suppose I'll have to put more effort into it as there are hundreds of them in there. This is going to take awhile.....
