Starfish generally starve in home aquariums.

Starfish are not suited to home aquariums at all. A blue linkia starfish is for extreme experts, IMO. I would return to the store asap and get a serpent or brittle star if you want one.

linkia star. Hard to keep. Good luck on keeping it. Mine turned into a book self ornament.

When I read Blue starfish I cringed. Agree 100% with the above statements

Blue Linkia.

I have kept one before. It starved to death. I have not seen a single case of them being kept long term in captivity. They are not suited for home aquaria as others have stated.

I saw a nice blue linkia at my local shop...... the guy said “I will sell it to you, but they die if you look at it wrong, and sometimes even when you don’t”
