  |  Can you ID this star
Hey all. I bought this star about a month ago. I was told its a thorny starfish but i cant really find any info on it anywhere. Heres a pic
Im pretty sure its reef safe cause 1. the guy at the LFS told me so and it hasn't touched anything in my tank that it wasn't supposed to.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

i was told as a rule to stay away from starfish with spikes on them as they were not reef safe. anyone else heard of that?
