baby sea stars?

[da1jewfish]

Wow they are small. Must be the size of a pen tip. I noticed them only b/c I put in a white frag disc and they are dark in color. There appear to a lot of them. I do have a sandsifter star, but only one. Are they asexual? Should I do anything to feed them?
are they going to get any bigger or are they like dwarfs? any idea?

What you're seeing aren't baby sandsifting stars. Yes, they're probably asexual, and no you probably don't need to do anything to feed them. If they get bigger, it'll probably only be a few mm in diameter.

o ok so there probably dwarfs then. they are a type of starfish right?

They're not dwarfs, just a species of starfish that doesn't get very big (pretty common LR hitchhikers). I can't think of the name right now so I'll wait for someone else to chime in.
