I was getting coral and rock at my LFS and when I got home I noticed a 5 legged critter on my rock... Is this a good or bad starfish? It is in a 5 gallon bucket right now with some tank water... I have a 36 gallon with 2 clownfish and a goby and some coral. If it is good, could I keep it? And how do you take care of starfish if it is good?
If it is bad, what do I do with it?
Please help! I don't know what to do
 
Can you get a better picture of it so when can see its color and whatnot? All I see is a black star lol
 
A well established tank will keep him alive, some minor algae on the glass and odds and ends elsewhere.

I can't get any better pics I have a lifeproof so I even put my phone underwater to try... This is the best one...
 
I'd toss it personally. I've had the white one n they're fine I have also had the dark ones n they'll eat zoas. This is a issue of debate some agree some don't but why risk it.
 
Sounds like you might have a winner there. I'd leave him alone. See what becomes of him.
