My tank seems to have infested by tiny star fishes (white colour). Looks like pest to me.
Are they harmful? Any idea how do I get rid of them?

They are greyish. Look like tiny starfishes right?

These are pest. Do you see your zoos closing and getting lesser by the day?

Time to hand pick these out. I took months to reduce the numbers. Got time, just pick them out of the tank. I use a super long pincer to get them out without having to put my hands in all the time.
