Starfish ID?

[Xaznkewlguyx]

Curious if anyone can ID this starfish? From what I can remember smooth starfish without bumps on their backs are reef safe but id like to know for sure before it goes into the display.

Probably won’t last too long but my daughter has been asking for a starfish ever since our blue linkia melted.

Looks like a type of tile star..
Google didn't help much, but there are LOTS of different kinds
Typically, you are correct with your "bumps bad" description..
Tile stars like Linkia can be "bio-film" feeders and can be very difficult to feed/keep long term....

Might be one of the Neoferdina sea stars.

Looks like you nailed it! Thank you. Definitely reef safe but mixed reviews on hardiness.

We’ll see if this one survives more than 6 months!
