Asterina star

[rickkott13]

They are taking over my tank. How to get rid off them. Is nearly impossible! I want them gone. Any advise?

what size tank?
if its big enough they can sustain a population you could look into harlequin shrimp. but if they can't sustain then you'll need to supplement stars as that is all they eat

I had a 100 gallon. They multiply quicker than ever. I might give Harlequin shrimp a try first. Is there any supplement that take cares of them out in the market?

I don't know of anything that wouldn't hurt the rest of your tank.. I have had them for years with no issues but now they are eating corals so I'm getting some Harlequins.

+1 Just picked up a harlequin 2 nights ago. I worked out a deal with the LFS owner where I can "rent" it and bring it back when my asterinas are gone.
