Received the Linckia starfish in excellent condition. It has been thriving in my 100-gallon tank for three months. The color is vibrant and it’s very active. No issues with compatibility or feeding. Highly recommend for reef keepers looking for a hardy starfish.
Samantha Wilkins –
The starfish arrived healthy and stayed active after setup. I was cautious about adding it to my reef tank due to the intermediate care level, but it has adapted well. Water parameters are stable and it’s not causing any disturbances.
