i just got an orange linkia starfish yesterday and i acclimated it and it seemed to be doign fine i put it on the bottom and it climbed up the glass side to the top and hasnt been moving alot since. i see his tube feet movine and he moves a little but im seeing a wierd string like thing near hima nd was wondering if he was dieing or what?

How long did you acclimate him?

Look for my Blue Linkia Topic here or in the Reef Discussion, I just went through the same thing and it sounds similar. Is the stringy thing at the end of his arm or the center disc?

I'd say it's normal behavior. Just give him time to get used to his new environment, I think he'll come around. Good luck with your Linkia, they're a hard species to keep.
