Am I correct in thinking this is a Asterina star and good for the tank? It's completely white underneath. I searched chucksaddiction but was hoping for a confirmation please

Yea looks like you got the right Id. As for being bad, probably not. Unless they esthetically displease you.

Any cleaners who pull their weight are welcome in my tank

Thank you.

It doesn't look like any Asterina Star I've ever seen, but that doesn't mean it isn't.

Here's the other side (tank mate) if that helps.

Now your first picture shows 7 arms, the last one only 3, the last one is definitley an Asterina Star.

Hence the parenthetical 'tank mate'. I tried to cover that base but I should have been clearer

The reason for changing subjects was that it's easier to shoot another one that looked the same but was already on the aquarium glass.

Thank you for the pos. ID. It seems like the longer I have the tank the more concern I have that a monster will get lose inside haha.
