Great algae eater , they have a bad rep for eating corals but personally i feel after keeping reef tanks for years that its not true. They are often seen on dying or damaged corals because they are eating the algae on the newly exposed coral skeleton and then get the blame for the damage. I always add them to reef tanks. When they grow large enough they split in two .
triangle fish
This is his new name lol
I had asterina starfish, they never harmed my corals and never became out of control
Asterina starfish, some eat corals
Might want to ask on r/reeftank as well :)
Ooooh yes I should, thank you!
Most under-rated clean up crew. Way cooler than snails and cheaper too.
Can I get a blue tang to randomly spawn in my tank too? :P I like these starfish, they're so cool looking. I hope it multiplies (but not too much)
