Does anyone own a bahama star or know any good sites for info? I like their look. As far as wether they are aggresive, food, hardiness, water conditions, etc. I've had trouble finding good info on the web. thanks.

They sell the on swf.com and this is what they have to say about them.....The Bahama Starfish is a large starfish that is a great addition to fish-only aquariums. These stars come in various colors, including brown, tan, pale orange, and green. They are very hardy and do well in aquariums. They have a deep body and will cruise around rockwork, substrate, and aquarium glass looking for food. They are not reef safe, but will not disturb other starfish or fish. They are a protected species in the United States.
Size: Approximately 3-4"

They will be fine in a FO, but be sure the tank conditions are pristine. It is really best to wait quite a few months after cycling (IMO, 6 months). Seastars are very intollerant of fluctuations in things like specific gravity, pH, alk, etc..not to mention all the others . It is best to get a handle on how your tank matures, reacts, etc. before adding one.
