Small Starfish

[CB]

I have these small stars in my tank that seem to mutiply by dropping a leg they stay small but seem to multiply in nusiance proportions would getting a harlequin shrimp help keep the population down?

Asterina coral-eaters are about the size of a matchhead and always look as if they've dropped a leg.

[CB]

that is what they look like and we only had a few to start and now they are everywhere I have had very good coralline grow and now have hardly any also had a whole rock of green star polyps and they have disappeared is this in any way connected to this starfish?

[Sk8r]

They're coralline eaters as well, and will eat polyps. Sounds like you can indeed support a harlequin.
