Wow... that's ready for my nano tank :) Correct me if I'm wrong, but a starfish is not a fish, but a sea star right?

I can't for the life of me find a picture of it, but if you guys have ever seen a Crown of Thorns (?) star those things are HUGE.

Don't those multi multi armed sunstars(?) off our coast get bigger?

I at least have the nads to show size reference.....apparently a rather portly human being :D Your pic could be a course gravel sand bed for all I know....

The stars here, off the coast, are WAY bigger than those
I've seen Cali stars close to 3.5-4' across
Go scuba in wreck alley, you'll see TONS

Crown of thorns are big and nasty!!! Saw them while diving leaving a white trail behind them on huge acro colonies. Stabbed a couple for hurting the corals :)
