    I know its some type of Fromia, but I don't know the specific name, my girlfriend wants one. Since I'm taking her chocolate chip star fish to the store tomorrow, I figured I owed her one.

    Not a very high survival rate in aquariums do to type of food available. I heard that they eat sponges. Had one for about a year and then he died all of a sudden.
