fairly easy to care for but they eat a lot. Not enough food and not a big enough tank will cause them to starve and perish. I suggest them for big tanks with lots of biofilm to graze on

Tips? Don’t buy them, they just slowly starve to death.

Read up on an animal before you buy it.

Not sure if red linkia , I have that starfish and it eats bacterial film / sponges so you should let some algae get on the glass so the starfish can eat / I supply some macro occasionally filled with sponges and it eats them all for the most part

IMO not really. The challenge is going to be keeping it fed. Congrats on getting a month in on it. Hopefully there is enough for it to forage on in the coming months.
