they need alots of lr to work on all day long.
They also need a well mature tank to stay healthy.
The book said Lincka cant' be exposed to air,
but mine hang half way in the air when they are bored. So I guess they know what they are doing.

Yes, in a smaller system they will. they require a 100+ tank with over 100+ of lr.

From what i read, there is no real data of what they eat.

Note that these stars take up to 18 months to starve...if you have not had it this long, you have not successfully kept them 
THey do not eat "algae" in the sense we think of it, nor do they eat "meaty" foods. They can not typically be spot fed, and require large amounts of live rock in a mature system to survive LONG TERM. Again note the time frame for starvation
