Good or Bad starfish

Rawby · 09/08/2011, 09:01 PM

Its about a half inch and it looks different than the ones that split in half all over the glass and LR. They seem bigger and all of the legs are equal in size. Any help would be apprciated thanks

For what I know they are mini stars and will not harm anything in the tank, not sure if they do any good but for what I know they don't do anything bad. I have probably close to 100 of theese little guys, they don't bother me at all I even kinda like them.

Thanks for the help! I was just over reacting just too much money in there to be too careful.
