Peach starfish

[rayn]

Need some help here. Lfs has a starfish and labeled it peach starfish. Any search brings up way to many nemo references and I am getting lost through them all. While I keep looking, does anyone have info about them? Reef safe? Size?

Can you try and describe it a little? Maybe this link will help.

I should have gotten a pic, may go back out and do that later tonight, sorry.

It is maybe 2-2.5 inches tip to tip, 5 legs, and peach. Sorry, but that is the best I can do at this moment. They had it in their coral area so I assume it is reef safe, as they keep the chocolate chip ones in the FO section. They had two in different cubes, one was on the sand and one was going up the glass.

Sorry for being so vague, but it is the best I can do. I am severely limited on starfish as I never really got into them before. Planning a in wall reef build and would like to add some when I do. IF they stay small I could get one now for the small reef I have though.

If "peach starfish" is the LFS's best ID then they may not know what it is, or if it's completely reef safe either.

Thanks for the link.
I've been researching the details of sea stars and this was by far, IMO the best read yet.

if the legs are thin like a pencil and rounded, its probably a linkia
