    Both are harmless parts of your clean up crew, you can leave them. The starfish is most likely an asterina sea star

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Sounds like the tank is on the right track.

    The critters you are seeing are normal. The bristle worm is fine, if you remove him another will just take its place. They are an excellent part of your clean up crew.
