They're white and range in size from about the size of a pencil eraser to maybe the size of a penny. Do starfish grow from small bits hiding in live rock? We haven't added any new live rock since we first started the tank. We don't have any other starfish (we tried an orange linkia but he died a few months ago). I've counted about 7 of these little guys. 2. There are these little snail/slug-like creatures. They have mouths like our snails but they don't seem to have snail shells (although they have what seems like the "beginnings" of a shell). Could they be baby snails? They range in size from about a pea to maybe the size of a baby carrot.
