Looking for info on this cool starfish...

[ScubaSteve]

After looking into it more I think it's a Neoferdina glyptodisca... Eats detritus and small inverts aparently. So, I believe it's reef safe.

I got it from OA. They had a pair of them and still have one more. They think they're linkia, I knew otherwise.

I completely agree with you here. I think this guy is going to be a total crap shoot. He seems to be struggling a little bit but hasn't done the "I'm an unhappy starfish do I'm going to explode" thing yet, so that's a good sign. I figured he was super neat and rare and he was either doing to parish at the LFS or I was going to take him home, do my homework, figure out what he needs and see if I can achieve long term survival. It was scooting about this morning but has remained inthe same area and not travelled to far, which to my understanding, is a fairly common response from starfish in new aquariums.
