Someone in here must know what kind of star that is and what puddle it lives in?? I would really like to know. There must be someone in here that unlike me does not have the inability to spend money on illustrated texts that could just as easily be spent on new corals.

The star is a Fromia polypora. According to Kevin Kohen, "It's from Western Australia and the freight from there is so expensive they rarely collect and ship these animals." In other words, enjoy the photo.

Here's a lesser-quality shot that shows the feet.
