I just bought some more new live rock. I put it in the tank last night, and this morning, I have seen about 10 starfish on my glass.
I am also changing out my w/d today with some live rock and cheato. Tank starting to come together.

I have them as well. IME they are kinda cool little stars and dont seem to hurt anything. They are multiplying like crazy in my tank. I even sat and watched one split the other day. I belive the name is Asternia stars. Most of them have unusual numbers of legs or legs of diff sizes. I know there is a close relative of them that are bad stars but most that you see on the LR are beneficial. Seems to be the only star that actually thrives in a home aquarium.
You may have started off with 10 but soon there will be more :)
