It lives!

The $80 starfish continues to live. I had to make some space in the refugium for it to get easier access to the sandbed, even though you'd think with five arms it could figure out how to push some leaves out of the way to get where it wants to go.
Here's the story of the original impulse buy, something very uncharacteristic of me. Six weeks later, it seems to be a good echinoderm. I think on Monday I'll introduce it into the reef and see how it acts.
For now, it submerges into the sand like a sand-sifting starfish, and is nearly invisible until it wants to reveal itself.
