I bought this today and the guy at the store said it was a red sea star but I googled it and it looks completely different. Any ideas?

That is a fromia species star. Abysmal survival rate in captivity. How old and large is your tank?

Thanks. It's 65L and it's been running for about 4 months

I'd strongly consider taking it back. It probably won't last long in a tank that small. Very tough animal to keep alive in even the most experienced persons tank. Good luck

Ok, thanks.

Bribo12 is right, I've had one and it didn't make it every long at all. I won't be getting another one again after that experience.
