They are commonly available in the trade because they are easy to collect. Just google
Protoreaster nodosus for information. They are often purchased by uninformed hobbyists for reef tanks but they are not a good choice for reef tanks for obvious reasons. They are OK for fish-only tanks.

Is there a good rule of thumb to relate size of animal to size of tank?

There are no good rules of thumb for anything in this hobby because there are too many variables. This particular species can probably survive for some time in a tank of 40-gallons or larger.
