Looks like a starfish

[sapsap]

Does anyone have tiny and looks like a starfish on the glass, rocks and overflow? What are those? I thought is a snail egg? Is it a snail egg or something else?

It looks like it. Is it safe? I have plenty. Do they grow big?

They will eat tissue off corals when they are hungry and will multiply rapidley.

Should I start taking them off. My anemone seems to be unhappy. Will this be bad for Anemone too?

i thought they were good. i used to have a bunch of them and they never touched my corals.

At present, I don't see any harm, I was just wondering what those stars are. I research Asterina Star, and everybody is right. Mine is a whitish beige, with 6 legs or lobes and has a yellow center. It seems to like it in the dark side ,rather than brite side. I thought it's a snail egg. I had it for a while and multiplying and noticeable.
