SO I guess stuff really does hang up on it.....Mine never moves anything
I wouldn't say its really stuck to it I think it's holding on to the stuff and eating algae off. He has pretty short needles but really long feet. like 2 inches long. And he only moves rubble and empty shells.

The starfish is pretty. Does it seem to be doing ok in your tank? everyone always recomends against em on small tanks or is that just for sand sifters?

Yeah the star is doing really well, and the one I returned to the LFS has actually healed up and is also doing really well. I don't know, I've been pretty lucky so far with everything only real problem right now is the flat worm population, I'm kind of against using chemicals cause I don't want their toxins to mess everything up, I'd rather get a mandrin or a FW eating nudi.

Hey dude, that starfish is reef safe? I've been wanting a starfish for my nano but everyone says its never gonna happen.
I got mine from my LFS,
heres the basic info
Other Common Names
Red Starfish, Black Spotted Starfish, Red and Black Starfish, Sea Star
Description
The Red Fromia Starfish is one of the hardiest of the Starfish family. They are still quite sensitive to changes in pH, temperature, and salinity changes. Fromia require a very long and slow acclimation period prior to introduction into the display aquarium.
Fromia starfish consume microorganisms and an almost invisible film alga. Because of this, they should be introduced into well established aquaria that has been running no less than 1 year . Fromia starfish stay relatively small and are better suited for smaller aquariums.
Diet
If introduced to a large well established aquarium, very little can be done to supplement the Fromia diet as its main sustenance consists of microorganisms and film algae that is invisible to the

[hr]
eye. Fromia Starfish are not considered to be good candidates for algae control problems and will likely perish in an aquarium with excessive algae problems. The algae they consume usually grows in only established and seasoned aquariums.
and yes it is reef safe
