What would you recommend as a hardy, attractive starfish, for a 55 gallon reef and fish tank?

Other inhabitants are tangs, flame angel, mandarin fish, some clearner shrimp, algae critters and various soft corals (polyps, mushrooms, leathers). Live sand, live rock.

Serpent stars are very hardy, and there are some that come in pretty red colors. They can be a bit secretive, though.

Serpents are very secretive, I see one of mine(Have 2), Once a month if I am lucky. They are nocturnal. But I sorta like that sorta thing. As long as they are healthy:) No comment on anything else.

Mine comes out for dinner every night. Expects to be hand fed. Most of the time I don't see it, though.

You have multiple tangs and a mandarin in a 55g? :confused:

Yes, and they're doing fine. I realize it's not textbook correct, but I am optimistic.
