Any idea what these are?

Well the snails seem to burrow very easily in and out of the substrate. I laugh cause when I feed the fish it looks like the dawn of the dead as they all rise up out of the substrate. I guess they sense somehow when the food hits the water.

This asterina is the only one I have seen and now I cant find him again. But I'll keep on the look out as always.

Remove the stars physically. This is what I do when I see them in my reef.

Why? If you're getting a lot of stars then you've obviously got excess nutrients in the tank, why not let them help clear it out?
