How many starfish is too many starfish?

[AVALover5498]

I just bought a bunch of live rock for my 10 gallon and the rock is LOADED with starfish. Not the cute little asterina ones but long tenticaly ones....*sp?* Anyway, do I leave them? Or do I get rid of them? There is a lot and there climbing allllllllll over my glass and sandbed. Not sure if I like them that much.

Sounds like micro brittle stars. Good to have. Do a search and see if you get a picture match.

The population will likely be self-limiting depending on nutrients / waste available.
