Gorgeous tank for only a year. Very aesthetically pleasing. I think your stocked a bit heavily, but if all is doing well, it works.
I like your avatar too. :thinking:

I can say I am green with envy :)
However, I am exceedingly worried about that many Linckia. If they make it 18 months, then I guess you are OK. But right now hard to know. That is a lot of competition for the same limited food resource.

All of them have been in the tank for 10 months... My tank is about 14 months old.

Give it 18 months before knowing if they will be OK. They take pretty much at least a year to starve. :(

Maybe I should take 2 or 3 of them out and give them to some friends with tanks.....

I would do that! Make sure you give them to friends with established tanks and lots of LR, acclaimate 3 or 4 hrs.
You have a great looking tank

I have a diamond Goby. Ever since I got him my sand is sparkling white all the time. It's definetly worth getting one if you can.
