Can I add a Starfish?

Can I add a Starfish? If so what kind? I dont think messing up my sandbed is a problem because my Tomato Clown keeps diggin pits in it all the time. As long as the star doesnt hurt my hermits or snails. My set up is listed below. Thanx in advance.

do not add a Sand sifting starfish if u have a Dsb

You can add any starfish. serpent star, brittle star, blue linkia or even a sand-sifter. Chocolate chip stars are ok as long as you have no corals because they tend to eat them! there are many different types, but be aware that they often demand optimum water conditions. They can disintergrate and die off if they get stressed out or don't eat.
They are not very active during the day really except the blue linkia. The sand sifted is said to eat good things in your cc or sand bed; personally I think that at least one is ok in a large tank others disagree. Good Luck.

i hsve a bahama star that is very active in my tank and eats alot of algea however they are not reefsafe so if you go that route you would have to remove him.

I wouldn't because most of them eat things that you want in your sand bed, and dsb are a very important aspect of all my tanks. Just and opinion though!
