I moved your post out of the fish forum into the Reef Forum where they know more about invertebrates.

Re: What is a 'Finger Star Fish?'
I would find out what their Latin name is and then research,if your LFS can't give you their real name I would not buy them.They might not be reef safe.

Re: What is a 'Finger Star Fish?'
Sounds like they are talking about a Lankia Species.
The blue are very common in the trade, and IMO, should not be sold. They are very sensitive to acclimation, and water changes. I personally have had little success with them, and no longer try and keep them.
Here is a pic from the web.

I swim with them, eat them, catch them, care for them, but never get tired of "them"....
