Hi...I became enthused with bobioden's fromia thread and found one on sale at the lfs. Grabbed it and took it home. Took some pix. On liveaquaria.com, they describe two species, a red and black and red one. Although the pictures look similar, the description varies a bit. Can anyone out there confirm the ID..is this indeed a fromia? If it is, it appears to be the red and black variety. I have my doubts on this one and I'd bring it back if it is not a fromia and/or reefsafe. Thanks. SH

Hi..I was able to identify this species as Fromia Indica, or, Indian Sea Star or Red and Black Sea Star. It is reef safe and although NOT a milleporella, I will give it a shot and see how it does. SH
