Looking at my tank last night I saw a few... tonight there everywhere probably hundreds I can even count them... Is this a good thing or bad?

Those are good. We had hundreds probably in our 125. Its the other ones, asteria that can be bad.

This is in my 10gal so it would be good to move a few starfish covered rocks to my 36gal.

I thought that's what I said.

Yes. In my systems if one tank seems to have an abundance I remove some and put them in other tanks. I do the same with asterinas

Asterinas are great if you don't have zoas.

Hi guys,

In regards of sea stars doy you know if there are other species that can be dangerous for sps corals?

Thanks.

It is only some that snack on Zoa's or other coral. Mine spend all day/night on the glass and rocks. (I have checked many, many times)

To the OP. Like everyone else said, mini brittle's are good. I had a huge population at one point that crashed for some reason. Wish I could get them back.
