Is there a fish/anything that will rid an entire population of these? I'm under the impression they're not bad for your tank, but I believe they are the culprit of making my coralline algae go bye bye 8-( Anyone else share my disliking for these?
 
Ehhhh I have a 6 line, but no triggers its only a 55... I'm getting a kole tang when I switch to my 75, you think he will eat them up?
 
I just put my six-line in a couple weeks ago, and I've seen him picking at the little ones, but not the bigger ones. Just pick out some of the bigger ones and he may help keep your population in check......
 
Some can. Keep an eye on your coralline spots.... if you see missing centers then the asterinas are munching.

Pretty sure the centers are gone lol... How do I get these outta my tank?? Is there a way other than manually removing them? I have hundreds 8-(
