Today I discovered in my 2 month 12g nano cube, one baby white thick starfish on the glass! Also there are numerous tiny flat looking yellowish things that looks and moves like sea slugs on the glass?

First, are the slugs or starfish reef-safe. Its not a serpent star. Typical compact looking startfish. What should I feed it? Are these slug looking things good or bad?

Found pic of it on net. I'm 95% sure its a Asterina Starfish. Have to monitor it to see if it'll damage my corals now. Anyone other there has one?

Many of us have them in our tanks. I haven't had any issue with mine.

I'd be more concerned with the yellowish things on your glass. Any possibility of a pic?

The starfish is fine will eat waste, the slug things could be really bad if they are the nudis that eat corals need to find out ASAP !!!
