There are tiny white starfish all over my tank. They started our really small, now are about the size of a penny with their legs outstretched. They are all over the Green Hair Algae and some spots of glass. Here is a photo: I was told that they were tiny white serpent stars when there were 2...

It may be a feather duster. They were all over my LR. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Sounds good. You're so informational! Thanks so much! I just checked my nitrate levels. Yesterday they were past 160 PPM (waaayyyyy too high, I know) and today are on- between 40 and 80. Still too high, but I'm getting there. Today, instead of a water change, i killed the Aiptasoa in my tank...

Thanks Carey. I'm currently working on lowering the nitrates, I may add some red macro algae (I forget the correct name for it, sorry) and maybe a Kent Nitrate Sponge, as well as daily water changes until it lowers? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hm, that may be it, but nothing else seems affected by the nitrate change. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Alright, good to know. I was actually going to pick it up. Should I get the Kent Nitrate sponge? Does it work? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Okay. I'm on my way there ATM. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Should I get copper as well, for inverts? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah. Okay. I have a question, relating to water levels. I have a test kit for the basics (PH, Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite) and today I'm going out to purchase the other levels required for a reef. What are they? Calcium, Alkalinity, KH? Sorry about my sudden off-topic-ness. Sent from my iPhone...

Birds best actually resembles Acropora a bit, IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ah, alright. Shame. They're gorgeous. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Pretty much, as in the green part of the frogspawn came off of the tan "stem", if that makes any sense. Stupid me didn't check the levels at the time as I thought that this was normal, and it lived for about 2 weeks and would continue living if I had not left the lights off for a week. I only...
