Starfish I .D

[Jawbone]

Wow looks like a cool serpent star but I dont know for sure I am suprised you got such a large specimen on live rock the LFS usually looks for the larger hitchhikers.

I would keep it if I were you. I think the harmfull ones have uneven leg sizes and shapes

I don't know what it is but I DO know that it's NOT a serpent star!!

I guessed it was a serpant star because of the tubular legs not because I have seen one before. If you want a good home for him I will glady volunteer

also I have quite a few small slug like things that came in on an anemone rock,I cant get a photo as they are so small,only a couple of mm ,the larget is approx. 8mm,they appear flat like little flakes ,shaped like a figure 8 and generally dont move much although i have seen a couple wondering over the glass.

Thanks for the offer but i guess I'll just keep an eye on him and keep looking for an I.D..By the way where do you guys go other than here for photo I.D.'s etc.?

definately not a serpent star. Looks to be a type of Linka star but I have never seen the color before
