I notice my starfish over a rock anemone didn't think nothing of it , then I decide to see if it ate it or what today. I noticed it was gone then I noticed the starfish on top of BTA[emoji86], so quickly kicked it off, I never new that chocolate starfish are not reef safe. What starfish are? And is my BTA going to be alright?

Almost all starfish with knobs like a chocolate chip and General are not Reef safe.
Linckia are, but not easy to keep long term.
