are there any star fish that are reef safe, or as anyone had a star fish with coral?

Linckia, brittle, sand sifting (need a deep sand bed), fromia, and red sea stars should all be reef safe.

I did some research and I think the fromia is the way to go for me, do you think that is something that would be stocked at a liocal pet store?

Possibly. Keep in mind starfish are pretty difficult and if not acclimated properly can die easily. I would recommend making sure the tank is stable for a month or two before trying to add one.

Also, I think the Fromia is also known as a marbled starfish.

I have a Serpent Sea Star in my reef tank. They are considered reef safe. Though I'd be inclined to wait until the tank is 6 months old or more to make sure there is enough to eat in the tank.
