You will here different oppinions on wether asterinas will "eat" zoanthids or not. I have had mine for over a year and I've not had it happen yet. I'm sure there are many many different types of asterinas but I'd hazard a guest that the majority do not eat zoanthids from all the testimonys i have read. I have white and i also have blue asterinas and they seem to be a great addition to my cuc. They never stop eating!

You may get a real serious 'bloom' of them if there is enough food. But most of the time the population will die back and they aren't a problem... most of the time. I had a smaller bloom. I started getting 20+ on my front glass. So I removed all the ones on the glass one morning. The next morning there were a few less and I removed all of them. I did that for 5 or 6 days and the population has never bounced back up. Now, a year later I still see one or two on the glass and I'm perfectly OK with that.

I don't trust them.. They're not very attractive and they don't really do much when it comes down to keeping a tank clean IME, plus there's always the chance that they'll decide to eat some of your corals. Until somebody can distinguish the good ones from the bad ones without a doubt I'll continue to treat them all as bad. :thumbdown
