I noticed a couple of these the other day think they came off a piece of lr can anyone tell me what type of starfish they are and if they are reefsafe? Ect pests ect

Asteria stars. They stay tiny, and only thing that may be a concern, is they eat coraline algae sometimes. I think they eat other algaes as well, maybe. Not a real concern, may leave them alone, but I di pull them out if they get near the top where I can grab them easily. If I have to get more than my fingers wet, they get to stay.

Pretty much the same for me... For a while I was pulling 15-30 out every couple days, and they eventually subsided. They're back now, and I don't really remove them anymore.

As the others stated its an asternia star. I have alot in my tank and they eat the trash off the glass in my tank.
