Great score-Fromia Monilis

I had an opportunity to pick up a little different sea star. This guy is called a Fromia Monilis. I just wanted to share it with the rest of you.

They are scavengers for benthic crustations and usually starve to death over a long period of time

Absolutely correct. They are in the same difficulty category as Linckia's. Also very correct in the tank being sterile. That was just a temporary holding tank.

It has been in this tank since Saturday (just don't have a pic of it in this tank yet). This system has been maturing for over two years:
