Fromia elegans, common name little red star, is a species of marine starfish belonging to the family Goniasteridae.

This sea star has been spotted at latitudes from -27.5 to 26.6 and longitudes from 32.7 to 159.6.

[1] In 1921, H. L. Clark described this species of sea star as Fromia elegans.

Hayashi studied Engel's collection, and finding them to be the same species as Fromia indica, considered the names to be synonyms.

Engel's description is now considered a synonym,[5] and informally a forma,[6][3] of Fromia indica, while H. L. Clark's description, the subject of this article, is accepted as a full species.
