    Funny you say that, I have been seeing small missing patches of coralline.

    I will, thanks for chiming in. :)

    Judging from the ammount of Coraline you have I would leave them. Hey not sure if you noticed or not but if you stare at the pic of the back wall long enough a picture of a sailboat appears.;D

    Asterina star, they turn blue when they eat coralline algae. Keep track of them you never know when they may go after corals. I have plucked a few from my zoas.

    my tank is loaded with these things, has got to be 50 of them. If they are eating the coraline i wouldn't car but i suspect they are snacking on my zoas.
