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.

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.
