I finally got an account on this board, I have been checking it out for a while now. I was wondring if anyone can share some useful info on orange Linckia starfish? I just got 1 last week from saltwaterfish.com. I was a little worried today when I got home from work as he seemed to be in a pile and looked kind of deflated. He seems to have inflated now and is moving around more. He has seemed pretty active for the first few days, moving from rock to rock and on the glass. He did not move muc last night, just stayed in 1 area with 1 arm sticking up in the air. I was trying to do some research on line last night but did not find a lot. I guess I'm curious to know what kind of signs to look for if he is not in good health? Also the site said they are Algae eaters, which I have a lot of, but should I supplement with anything else? Any input would be greatly appreciated, Beloware the specifics of my tank,

the orange linckia has been discussed quite a bit. The best way to find all the info on a certain species is to click on the "search" link, then click "advanced search". This brings up a new search window. Type in what you want.. like - orange linckia. And choose the option "search titles only". This will bring up all discussions that have orange linckia in the title. It works 100x better than google! That's what I do before I buy any specimen. Good luck! Orange linckias are tough but worth it!
