Keep your eye out for a Naroda Starfish. They eat Asterinas. I got the one I have now from Pacific East Aquaculture a year ago, but haven't seen any there since. The most recent one I've seen locally was at Ely's in Florham Park. They were being sold there as "Green Starfish".

Here's a Green Sea Star (Nardoa galatheae) at LiveAquaria:

It is the same one Ely's has/had. And, it looks like LiveAquaria actually has them in stock.

The one I got from PEA is a Naroda tuberculata. PEA no longer has them and their photo is gone.
I've had mine for going on a year.

If you really want one, get one from LiveAquaria before this post goes viral, and they all get sold. ;)

As of this today, NYAquatic has these "African Red Biscuit Stars" on sale again for $40 each. There is no indication as to when the sale price expires.

FWIW, four or five days ago, one of mine spent a good 36 hours sitting on one of my nori feeders. It then moved on to a patch of green hair algae for another good 36 hours. I can't tell what remains of that patch of the GHA ~ an RBTA has expanded over the location.

BUT, wouldn't if be nice if these stars (Goniaster tessellatus) actually decimated GHA? Of course, YRMV (Your Results May Vary)! (Hey Michael - sign me up for another two or three of these stars!)
