The red orange Linckia starfish arrived healthy and stayed active in my 80-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t interfere with corals. Very hardy and easy to maintain once the tank is stable.

Grew to about 5 inches in 6 months. Color is vibrant and it’s been very calm. Only issue was a slight drop in activity during water changes, but otherwise it’s a solid addition.
Amanda Mackenzie –
Highly recommended for reef tanks. It’s one of the most resilient starfish I’ve kept. No signs of aggression or coral damage. The Maldives origin adds to its natural appeal.
