Thank you. we were told a different name at our LFS, but couldnt remember the name. Then again ,we were also told that it was reef safe and only ate algae..
From what I read, that is true till it gets bigger. The one we are looking at is about 3" tip to tip (or round/across) so not sure how fast they grow and even if I really want to deal with it if at some time its going to be a problem with some coral.

P.S. If you ever have a problem ID, look at that species in liveaquaria.com Thats how I found it, but make sure to type it in on the searchbox, it gives you more results. Like for this, I typed in starfish, and looked at everything they had. Hope this helps,
Chris
