Asterina sp. Starfish / Help!!!

[Ariel110G]

So for some time now I have been having Asterina sp. Starfish, I know they eat coral, algae & coralline algae as well, in my case they are not eating corals but they are eating my coralline algae & I don?t want to end up losing all of my coralline algae, I?ve been taking them out manually one by one, but it?s just not good enough. I?m thinking of getting a Harlequin shrimp but I just don?t want to be stuck with it if I have to feed him starfish once he is done with the Asterina sp. Starfish, is there anything else I can do I or any other animals that will eat Asterina sp. Starfish.
I was thinking about a six line do they eat them????

Thanks for the help

I had the same problem , I used tweezers to pull them off the rocks. Took about 3 days to remove them all.

My tank is a 110G deep with a nice amount of rock, it not so eazy to get them out one by one,

It'll constantly forage for more stars, once its down to very low levels, you can decide if you want to start feeding chocolate chip stars, or sell it to the next reefer with asterina problems (and pick out the rest yourself)

And once you Harley is done cleaning your tank of Asturias you should have no problems selling them off to other hobbiest people are always looking for them

Are they easy to catch?

Very!
They walk around searching for foods and do not move fast so catching is easy!
