Where else can you go and people go crazy over rock? That stuff looks geat. The last rock we got was from Figi and it was awesome.
We had 2 hitchikers in that batch and they look just like your star.
They cruise around un noticed really. Occaisionally will hang out for a few days and then disappear. We have had them for about 6 months and have done well and no one has bothered them.
Oh, and they have never really gotten bigger, which surprised me.

Asternia star.
The "polyp" looks like a rock anemone which is worse than aptasia. Not entirely sure on the genus denominations but rock anemones can spread just like aptasia and there is nothing short of removing them from the rock that can kill them. Even Kalk i've heard doesn't work.....

Thanks for the replies everyone!!
The more I stare at the rock the more I find... found some snails and some star polyps.
Also saw this snake/worm looking thing - was almost clear and about an inch long zooming around on the sand just after the lights came on -- then he disappeared.
Ahh.. who would have thought rock could be so much fun. I guess that's why it costs so much!

Tropicorium, how's their stock out there. It's a hike for me but I wanna take a trip sometime soon out there.
For anyone who doesn't know this store is in a greenhouse with hugh shallow pools of corals. I'd say there is about 12 pools which are 20'x10'. Not to mention tanks stocked.
Sound about right foxhorn, only been there once awhile ago.
