    Default Starfish ID (no pic)

    I couldnt get a pic of the starfish with my camera without it being blurry cause they're so small. Its basically an offwhite colored center with about five arms coming off of it. THey are wavy arms like a serpent star and it looks like a mini one but i just want to make sure there arent any other possibilities incase its a non-reef safe star
