    Default white starfish

    I have a bunch of those little white starfish all in my aquarium. At first my wife and I love the idea of them, but now the two we used to see has turned in to over 20. I know they eat coral, and have seen them on some of my zoas. Is it best just to start picking them out, or is a harlequin a good idea to keep them under control?

    a harley will eat them all. The ones on your zoas will irritate them till they melt away.

    Harlequins work great, but once the asterinas are gone then you will have to either get rid of the shrimp or you will have to find a new food source, which usually is new starfish.

    Yeah, twenty starfish should be picked out. No need to invest in a shrimp that only eats starfish.
