+1!!
I have these guys in my live rock when I set up my tank about a year ago and now they have recently over-populated my tank. I can see legs sticking out from almost every nook and cranny within the live rock. In fact, lately I find anywhere from 10-15 stars in my filter pad when I change out weekly...It seems at night they let go into the water column seeking sparser grounds, I presume. I have been giving them away to local reefers.
