Was it found alive? Was it returned to the water? Was it part of a science lesson at the park or school field trip? Also known as Bahama Starfish, it is against the law to harvest these in Florida. https://www.flrules.org/gateway/ruleno.asp?id=68B-42.003 http://m.myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/recreational/aquarium-species/
