Default starfish ID....

I purchased this at the LFS as a "orange star". Ok nothing like stating the obvious. I don't believe it's a linka. I've never seen a linka quite like this one before. I acclimated it for over 6 hours with a drip method. (used a dosing pump) I added it to my 75g seahorse tank. There are only sponges, macros, seahorses, and live rock in this tank. Oh and cleaners too.


The starfish has hundreds of black dots on it. Do linka's have them?

Thank you,
Angela

Why Greg, of course you'd get it right. Just look at what is under your username.

Fromia for sure.
