I'm not going to say "no way" but I think it is VERY unlikely that your linckia can be responsible for eating anything you can even see in your tank.

ok, my zoos have been closed up for quite a while now and i cant figure out why. i watched the star creep over them yesterday, but i didnt see any damage done so you guys are probably right. thanks

I think linka's are supposed to only eat algea.
But dont quote me on that.

Actually they are supposed to eat bacterial films that cover the rocks and surfaces.

well i moved the zoos several days ago thinking it might be something nearby to it that was bothering it and they are still closed

i dont think it is the star at all
thanks for the opinions

Ido not believe there is an Orange Linckia, just a couple of orange starfish that are called Linckia in the hobby.
There is one version with purple tube feed that is a coral predator.
