im leaning towards that red fromia starfish thanksI bought red fromia starfish from my LFS three times. One only lasted a year, the others lasted 2 -3 years. I have an old, dirty tank with a lot of rock and acclimated them very slowly.
Even though they're called red fromia, they were a solid orange in color. Looking online, I think the species was Fromia milleporella. They are very active and colorful and out all the time.
I'm not sure how they'd ship, but the LFS must've gotten them somehow.
Out of those the red formia are ones that will survive the longest in the tankGenerally only two real starfish that do okay in the reef hobby(so im excluding chocolates and the like since they arent reef safe) that i know of are the Linckia Sea star and the red fromia.
