    I found a hitchhiker in the 75 gallon. Is this an asterina?

    Depends on who you ask. Some like 'em, others hate 'em. I don't mind seeing them around as long as the population stays controlled. If they every get out of hand in my tank, I will just remove what I can see and deal with the population that way. I have no intention of ever eradicating them.
