some kind of starfish

OK, so alot of stuff is starting to emerge from my live rock. Noticed this little guy the other nite. What kind of starfish is this thing. Is it ok to keep?

 

Sorry bud, really cant tell the pic is blurry. Could be alot of diffrent ones. But i know its not a Brittle or Serpent just by seing how fat its legs are

 

i know, thats the only pic i could get. It has 6 legs and its only about an inch big

 

Asterina star i believe

google it and tell me what you think

 

is he ok to keep

 

yeah they're fine!

 

ok, cuz ive heard horror stories about certain things that hitchhike on live rock, lol

 

there's plenty! don't worry about these though unless you get a really high population..then you may want to start picking them out..

 

asrerina star is correct. there are different opinions on whether or not they eat corraline. i have several in my tank and the little corraline i have is still there. just keep an eye on them
