welcome!
There are so many species of seastars that it is impossible to generalize if they are reef compatible. Many are, and many are not. However, most are very difficult to keep alive. brittle-stars are much easier (overall), however, not all of them are reef-safe. Turbo snails are reef-safe, though some live in cooler waters not accustomed to the temps of reef tanks, and are therefore, shorter lived. I have many types of snails that have lived years in my tank.
