Probably came in off of rock or coral. Enjoy it. We picked up a few stars here and there.

Depending on what kind of star it is, it could very well be a problem. Post a picture if you can.

I have tiny stars as well. I just figured they came with the lr. They have long arms and a very tiny middle section. They have red and off white bands around their legs. Does anyone know more about these. When I feed my fish I can see their little arms sticking out from many of the rocks. Kinda fun to watch!

I had a problem with tiny tiny stars appearing everywhere a while back. They had like 3 then 4 legs the 5 and stayed very tiny. At night they would come out and were all over the galss.. like 20 or so in bunches. they looked like small sand sifting stars with a red eye in the middle. anyone have them?
