Actually... I wouldn't trust a star fish if it wasn't from the linkia or fromia species.

These are proven reef-safe species and will not prey on other inverts or fishes. Some starfish sold in the hobby are even able to pry open clams and other bivalves just to attack the meat inside! Some will ambush fishes when they sleep!

However, since I have no idea what that starfish is... perhaps you can report back in a few months time on how it does in your reef tanks?
