The Purple Linckia Starfish looks beautiful in my 120-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and hasn’t caused any issues with other corals. Only thing is it takes time to settle in, which is expected for expert-level species.

I’ve had this starfish for three months now. It’s active and adds a nice color contrast to the tank. I’m careful with water parameters, and it seems to be thriving. Would recommend for experienced reef keepers only.

After months of research, I finally got this Linckia. It’s stunning in color and very calm. No aggression or damage to other invertebrates. The only challenge was the initial setup, but it’s worth it.
