Has anyone had luck with this species of starfish, the Fromia millepora? LA says they are "moderate" to keep, which gives me hope, and I have read that they eat film algaes that are common in the tank, so at least the diet is known. My friends ask me all the time when I am going to get another starfish after my uniformed attempt at keeping an Orange linckia ended poorly.

Other information pertinent: my tank is an 8-month old 20H mixed reef and I have had good luck with other inverts (shrimp, snails, hermits, etc) and I have about 27-28 pounds of LR in the tank.

It will starve. Pass.
