Jan June 9, 2013 Share June 9, 2013 The gray starfish is an asterina starfish. harmless unless they get out of control. then they tend to block light. Some have reported that they've eaten certain corals. Not been my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Rhoads June 10, 2013 Share June 10, 2013 Those stomatellas are pretty neat. If you grab them they drop part of their foot as a defense mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
