Okay - I know we've talked about it to death.
After seeing mystery asterina-type starfish on one of Arnold's sps mini colony - it was all chewed up from the base up. I'm beginning to think maybe asterina's that can eat zoas can also start mowing down sps as well.
I've been reading a few threads on RC

Granted I haven't gone through this myself but is maybe one other pest that in great numbers can just wreak havoc in our tanks.
Bryan if you're reading go home and check for asterina's
