my orange is in my 55gal reef. It's been set-up for over two years. Linkias can be very sensitive to fluctuations in water quality and even the oils on your skin can harm them. How old is your tank?

well it's my understanding the most bulletproof stars are chocolate chip stars. But if you have a reef you can forget it. I'd be patient, wait about a year or so and get an orange Linckia.

I have over 100# of LR..my 75 is only a little over 2 months old though. My brittle was easy to take care of, he would even come out and eat for me when i fed the other fish. I would spot feed him too sometimes. I want a blue linkia bad but I will read up before I get one..IF I get one... I do try and make informed decisions when choosing my tank's inhabitant's. I had my 29 for over 15 years with much success. even though I used a lot of "old school" methods". Now with my 75 I have tried newer things. we'll see ...
