These eat coraline and from what I witnessed the bases of my two stylloporas. Just putting out some experience.

Good to know. I removed three of them suckers from my tank. Looks as though they were introduced after I picked up some zoas from MAX.

I suck them out every water change, but they always come back. I will be more diligent in the future. Still have lots of coralline and I can actually see on the glass where they have been because it is clean...

Harlequin Shrimp.. I had a couple hundred of those starfish.. within 3 weeks my fatten harlequin began starving...

Get one and pass it on to another reefer when it wipes the stars out... plus they look sweeeet!...

Good idea, going to Tom's a bit later, maybe he has one. Wonder how my melanurus will react, its been fine with my peppermints, cleaner and fire so far...:hungry:

I have a bunch of those stars. The only thing they really do in my tank is eat a head or two on zoas. I have a few big colonies so its not that big a deal for me.

I hate this starfish. I had 100s as well. They do eat coraline... I also found them eating my zoas! Wiped out an whole colony of zoas.

I ended up buying three harlequin shrimps and do not have any issues.

I have 3 shrimp, but willing to get rid of two.

Oh yea forgot about that incident. They ate my wild paly I posted that was on a clam. Freaking paly was
Sooooo sweet. Piece of crap star got thrown into the disposal.

I actually caught him with a piece of paly in his ugly mouth! And that's why he's dead. The end.
