Yes, your starfish is an invert....no spine. Copper will kill your inverts and your live rock. Can you get a 10 gallon qt? Cheap set up at wal mart and all you have to buy extra is the heater. I understand about the room though. I ended up putting a qt on the floor in the basement on a couple of 2x4's. Works fine. Also, if you have a closet with an outlet nearby, you could always put it in there. It's not like it has to be seen. Good luck. I am trying a new product safe for inverts and corals and such....it should arrive tomorrow. you can email me if you like, I'll tell you more.....and I'll get bashed here because some don't believe it works....but just email me.

never ever use copper in your main tank and you shouldn't use it in ur qt tank either. copper is the worst and last resort kind of medication.
