As far as the little stars go, the mini brittle stars (often have black and white striped legs) are excellent for the reef. They get into the nooks and crannies and clean up the detritus. We find them everywhere in our live rock and sand. The little asterinas are the rounder, puffier white to tan stars that are less desireable in the reef. They can reproduce to plague proportions and are rumored to eat up your coralline algae, however, in smaller numbers they are also no problem. Here is a link for a pic for reference:
