Hello again all, I found this guy on a rock today I have looked up pics of starfish before as I had an asterina but this guy looks different, he is a rusty red color in the center and gets tan-ish towards the edges of his legs. Sorry for the poor pic quality I got water on my camera so it's from my cell phone. He is bigger than the asterinas I have seen in my tank before too, he is about .5" across and has 5 fully developed legs. One pic is from top one from his underside. Any ideas?
Starfish ID?

It's an asterina.sp star. Asterina's come in different sizes, colors and diets. Some grow to be palm sized.

I dont worry about the ones in my tank.And I've never seen them harm anything.Mine tend to spend most of their time feeding on film algae and havnt really over populated the tank.

I've seen a couple in my tank that are pretty symmetrical.

Hmmmm....I never seen one symetrical before.Usually they have one or more crazy little leg.

I too am puzzled by its symmetricity.
