Based on it being a contortionist, I'd guest a Linckia sp. But I have no idea, and I've never seen one like that, either online or in a store. It is stunning though. Unfortunately I had crap luck with the one starfish I ever tried. They seem to require a fair bit of care and consideration.

I too used to have crap luck with them. Turns out I was properly acclimating them. I now have 3 fromias and one blue linckia, and all are doing well. Man the linckias do move super fast.
24 hours acclimation period I used for all my starfish. As for the id on the starfish I would go with some form of linckia, although it does look like one of my fromias

Probably a good idea. Good article on acclimatizing snails in this month's RK mag.
