Hey everyone. In the last 6 months I’ve had an outbreak of these starfish looking critters. I’ve got about 30 in the tank and they mostly come out when the lights are off. Any help is appreciated!

Funny enough, I just dropped 2 in today with a couple of chocolate chip starfish. Thanks!Asterina starfish. A harlequin shrimp will take care of those within a week or two.
Thanks! It was called a pacific desjardini by the LFS and has an amazing blue rim around its dorsal fish. It’s been a champ for the last year!Nice sailfin tang by the way
Let’s hope the harlequins take care of them!Not good IMO.
I'm still waiting for somebody to distinguish the bad ones from the good ones... If this can't be done, (without a doubt) I will err on the bad side. GL.
Yeah desjardini and sailfin are the same thing, one is just easier to spell lol.Thanks! It was called a pacific desjardini by the LFS and has an amazing blue rim around its dorsal fish. It’s been a champ for the last year!
I’ve seen multiple types of sailfin tangs. I might be wrong but I always thought Desjardini’s have freckles and the pacific one that I have has a bright blue rim on it’s dorsal fin. Regular sailfin tangs are a little more bland looking.Yeah desjardini and sailfin are the same thing, one is just easier to spell lol.
You are correct. Good luck with the Harley Quinn.I’ve seen multiple types of sailfin tangs. I might be wrong but I always thought Desjardini’s have freckles and the pacific one that I have has a bright blue rim on it’s dorsal fin. Regular sailfin tangs are a little more bland looking.
there is a semi recent ID thread on those somewhere around hereNot good IMO.
