Is this a reef safe starfish
 Does anyone know if this is a reef safe starfish? I found him tonight on a snail as you can see. It is anly about 1/4" in size. I know some are considered reef safe and some are not. Does anyone have a good link to starfish identification? |

Re: Is this a reef safe starfish
In addition to Anthony Calfo's article linked by FireEater, check out this article by Dr. Ron Shimek and scroll down to Asterinid Stars. That's what yours appears to be and it is probably reef-aquarium safe. Some are not but most are safe.
