Orange Linkia Star Question

[akhilennium]

Hi All,

 

I have this Orange Linkia star fish for about 2 weeks.....

 

First 4 days, it was on top of the tank glass hanging one of its limb out of water level...

 

After a week, it stayed on substrate and on LR.....when its moving around the tank, it looks bright orange but when its stagnant, i noticed few brown spots on its body......this happens everytime when its not moving....is it normal?????

[akhilennium]

any suggestions?????

Isn't a nano way to small for a linkia? I was under the impression they usually starve to death in massive tanks, let alone tiny ones.

yeah, linkia's are very hard to keep in big tanks. they starve very quickly

they are very difficult to keep alive more than a month in a nano. they usually start falling apart and no one knows why. I think thats what he means

Yah, a better starfish is a fromia, however starfish in general are hard to keep unless it's like a sand sifting star fish!!

I just tried a blue linka in my 75g. no bueno.
