I think I am just going to keep all of them in the tanks. No problems yet and if problems occur then I will look for them first. Now if Zo's come up missing I know to find the star, he usually stays on the same rock, well he has been for the last couple of days. The tank is only a 7 gal so not to much rock to tear down.
aarrgggghhhh!!! More hitch hikers

The asterina won't touch the zoos. They eat algae.
If you're lucky enough to have them breed in your tank, you can usually share them with fellow reefers as they are usually quite desirable.
Best of luck,
Roy

Something to consider when removing these stars is that they are feeding on something.
If they are feeding on your corals, which I have read has happened but have no personal experience with, then taking them out will save your corals.
If they are feeding on something else (which is most likely diatoms ), what will eat the food that they are now consuming? Removing them from your tank can possibly upset the balance of your tank.
Unless you are absolutely positive that they are harming something in your tank I would let them be.
