Sea Star riding a foxface!

[Scouter Steve]

I have a One-spot Foxface, new in my tank a couple weeks so I am watching him like a hawk for strange behaviors etc. Today I notice what I say as a shadow on his fin and thought oh crap Lymphocitis. Watch a bit more and see it is one of those itty bitty sea stars! It was on the fish a good ten minutes after I saw it.

It is not what you think of when you hear fish eating star fish but I was wondering how I was gonna get it off it seemed to do damage! That fox is very shy and fast.
