Lots of miniature starfish

I seem to find that they move onto the glass when the lights are out overnight and you can pick them out with a tweezer. I did find they liked to eat my star polyps.
You'd better pay attention to them before it's out of control. I had a lot in my tank before and I found they prefer to stay at the bottom of Acros. And normally I can find dead spot where mini stars aggregate. I am not sure if the mini stars make the dead spot on Acros, or they just like to stay at dead spots.

Ok, that got my curiosity up. Why do you say that? (feel free to PM if you'd rather not say in "public", I'm just really curious.)
lol - perhaps I should have elaborated.
First of all - disclaimer - I am not stating this representing njrc, the officers, mods
My opinion only.
you have a simple choice. You could do your research on wetwebmedia, reefkeeping.com or even searching thru other forums (without being spammed for money for "research"). Or you could do it with garf.org where the aquarium pest list is aiptasia and asterina star fish...that's it (i guess they never heard of flatworms or redbugs or cirolanid isopods or xanthid crabs or coral eating fireworms etc.etc.etc.).
Lots of other vendors sell "patented" items - prodibio, zeo, etc. - but all of them don't pretend to be a "research foundation".
To me, garf represents the pinnacle of clever marketing. You can do yourself a favor by buying your cleanup crew from local vendors (or thru your club group buys), and you can get live sand from your fellow reefers - why pay hard money for so-called "grunge".
I could go on - but I think you get the point.

LOL! Ahh. I see.
Ok, I was thinking maybe there was some personal bad experience or something there.
I was just curious. I've never purchased anything from them, but I have used their site (in conjunction with others of course) and gotten some interesting ideas from there.
Thanks for elaborating.
