Astrina star surge...

[Spork3245]

Hey guys,

So I've been getting a ton of astrina stars lately, they seem to have surged in population out of no where. Is there any method to get rid of them quickly and effectively besides attempting to pull them out one by one?

I've heard Harlequin Shrimp are an option, but I've also heard they will hunt down every single one and then starve to death sooo... Yea.

In good news though, I seem to have a family of 5-8+ stometella snails (babies) that seem to have appeared out of no where just as suddenly

Those would be my only two answers:
1. Pull them out manually (Which I did and worked). Took time and dedication but everytime I saw one it was bath time for me.
2. Get a predator like a harlequin shrimp

You can usually take the shrimp back to the fish store after he or she has done the job. Then everyone wins and no one starves. We'll I guess the stars don't win. Lol
