Multicolor Linckia Starfish (Linckia sp.)

The  Linckia Starfish, Linckia laevigata, spend their time on rocks or hanging on the glass. They feed on algae, detritus and astrea stars. They do better if they are the only starfish in the aquarium, but they will tolerate other starfish. This starfish will do best in an established tank with stable water parameters. A drip acclimation of at least 1 hour is recommended.
