My LFS always has these red starfish and I’ve considered them for awhile now. They called them a burgundy starfish but look different then the information I’ve been able to find. They are solid red on both sides, this one is maybe 3 inches across. Any ideas on what it is and reef safe?

Appreciate it, they told me it was reef safe and keep them in a softie tank with seahorses. Glad I didn't get one.
