    I'll try to get a picture of the front. I'm not quite on board with Asterina quite yet given this is bigger then the size of a quarter. I used to have an outbreak of Asterina in my 55 and irradicated them over time. I have not seen one in about three years.

    How did you eradicate the ones in your 55?

    I removed them when I saw them if possible, that and a little bit of luck, they all disappeared.

    I agree with civic, that's not a clear asterina to me either - need a pic of the top

    Caught it tonight. Even though this is quite large to the asterina I'm used to seeing. I'm on board with the general consensus. image.jpg
