Who keeps linckia starfish?

[CherryBlossom]

Just got this awesome guy a week ago, seems to be cruising a lot In my tank and seems fairly happy...

Let's see your linckia starfish! I'd like to see who else keeps them, and what do you do to keep them happy? What do you feed yours ect ect! And don't forget to post pictures!

I'd like to hunt down a blue one eventually

Has anyone here been able to keep them for longer than a year or two?

Although these Stars are very nice, They are not Linkia Stars, I may be wrong, It's happened before but Linkias are sand dwellers and are very hard to keep long term, Can anybody else chime in on this one.

 

[Poseidon]

I was sold my blue linkia as just that, a linkia, and it's never on the sand, like ever.

I do have a sand sifting star but that's a diff family of star I'm sure.

Almost a year here, but like most things I do it's by accident lol

 

[reeffreak]

That's definatly a linkia

 

[CherryBlossom]

Mine goes on the sand from time to time.. Hangs out then back to the glass and rocks

when i first read the title of this thread, i thought it said " who keeps licking starfish"? and i thought... the crazy people must be doing it!

 

[CherryBlossom]

Hahahah that's funny

 

[umbis]

I bought a blue one from Sealife a month ago...It spends most of its time on the top of the glass...

 

[sunnykita]

I think I'd like both a red and blue ! beautiful creatures !
