Here's a Green Sea Star (Nardoa galatheae) at LiveAquaria:

It is the same one Ely's has/had. And, it looks like LiveAquaria actually has them in stock.
The one I got from PEA is a Naroda tuberculata. PEA no...
Next time, we might consider going as a regular vendor (Grin.) I'm not too keen on this event owner anyway. I tracked him down at the most recent NJ Reef-a-Palooza, and was told I couldn't get a table this time because they were sold out, but that I could get one for 2026. If he was sold out...
Keep your eye out for a Naroda Starfish. They eat Asterinas. I got the one I have now from Pacific East Aquaculture a year ago, but haven't seen any there since. The most recent one I've seen locally was at Ely's in Florham Park. They were being sold there as "Green Starfish".
SAILING OFF ON A DIFFERENT TACK...
I've been thinking (which isn't a necessarily good thing, especially considering the bottle of Pinot Noir that I've already consumed this evening, as well as the followup with some Triple Sec liquor.)
Personally, I was very, very, very amazed at our...
Brian neither left nor was fired. He had a drug problem, and it was the death of him. I'd like to know what he OD'd on. Once he was gone, the store's income magically increased by something like $1000 a week. But you have to admit he was a really likeable person. RIP...
I have to admit that I'm a sucker for red Starfish. I have 5 in my reef now. But even I can't spend $200 on this one, even if it is half price!

If a Brooklyn Road Trip is out of the question, and I don't blame you, how about this:
They're north in Monroe NY, but they do ship.

Looks to me to be something like lymphocystis, which I recollect is viral in nature.
If you can keep the fish healthy, unstressed and well-fed, that fluff should go away by itself.
Hi Mark,
The tank is all yours. You just need to pick it up. I don't think I can physically handle it, and I suspect it is too large to get into my coupe. It is well boxed - in a cardboard box held in another cardboard box with foam corners. I only opened the top lid of the outer box...
My sand dollar died last month. I went out to Something Fishy this past weekend to get another. To my surprise, they had one. (It never showed up on their web inventory.) They'd had it for a year, and kept moving it from a sand bottom invert tank to another invert sand bottom tank to keep it...
I don't think so, I recollect seeing BRS saying you'd get a store credit for the amount of the item you won. I think they may have had excess inventory on my gift. I'd rather have the store credit. My gift tank looks to be a 15G nano.
Today I got an odd assortment of free stuff from Bulk Reef Supply.
Included is
a small stuffed Mr. Chilli
a deck of BRS Playing Cards
a stuffed BRS clownfish
a very large orange MXM t-shirt
a wooden Mr. Chilli wireless phone charger
a pair of 11" VCA Limited Edition BRS Tweezers
and
an...
If you're willing to buy on-line, Salgado's has the least expensive fish around, especially with their common 20% or 30% off sale prices:
https://www.salgadoaquatics.net/
Considering that their fish are quarantined and medicated, the prices are especially good.
BUT THERE ARE CAVEATS:

Most copper meds say you can't treat scaleless fish with it. Mandarins are scaleless.
