I was pretty sure of the Id on the first one. The second one might not be anything at all. It looks really flat.

yep the first one is a tub worm, usually called a feather duster. second is an asterina starfish. most of them are just algae eaters, but some have been reported to munch on SPS corals. i have solid white ones all over my tank without any problems.

It appears that my asterinas are eating coralline of the rocks. Has anyone else experienced this?
