    So I was given this starfish by a person that I no longer speak to. I was told by them that is was reef safe and have never seen one in any LFS ever. I have since lost this star and would like to get another. So can anyone I.D. it? thanks! It was a pinkish purple color.

    I don't know either. But it's very pretty! How long did it live for?

    I had it for at least 6 months. But it was totally my fault why I lost it. I re-arranged some rocks with the lights out and didn't realize till the next day that I had crushed it in the process of moving some rock.:cry: It sucks when you lose livestock due to natural causes or something that you can't control, but when your the reason..... Well it just makes it worse.
