    A picture would probably help with the ID.

    There are several types of starfish. If you are refering to the tiny (<dime) size starfish then you probably have nothing to worry about. Many people refer to these types of starfish as "micro starfish." Keep in mind that this is obviously not a scientific name only a common name.

    Either way we would love to see pictures of your tank!

    I would suggest a pic because there are several different types of starfish and some of them can be bad.
