It gave me a fright. Anyway, it is dead. That's why I can take the picture. Will see if there is anymore and give to you guys.

its reef friendly? .. from what I heard only 2 species of stars are reefsafe and that is not one of them..

And I know these starfishes attacks other starfishes. I've seen at BioOcean. A bunch of them attacking other species of starfishes.
