So this lady gave away her 55 gallon cube and stand with everything with it for free. I found this starfish in the sand. Is it reef safe?

I'm not sure either. Could be a type of fromia maybe but that's a total guess

I'm thinking a type of formia. But it could be a dalmation linkia? Both are reef safe.

I too can't say but it's a cool looking star none the less...

Hopefully someone here will have a definitive answer but in the mean time I'd keep it isolated in a breeder box but maybe add a coral or two you aren't too attached to and give it time.
