Supposedly the best starfish, in my opinion, for a small reef tank-- harmless and beneficial (grazes on diatoms and algae). Doesn't seem to appear so frequently so took the chance to grab one ( and got one free !! attached to the side of a fox coral bought on the same day that the seller didn't realise !! ). So it was $6 for 2 nice starfish...
