Not sure if your tank is mature enough to support a linkia so I'd go with the coco worms (assuming you're going to feed them phytoplankton?). My 90 gallon tank was completely unable to support a linkia until it reached the 3 year point  | |

really, my tank is around 2 years old and there is plenty of micro fauna...how old would my tank have to be for a linckia? | |

If your tank is 2 years old, it might be old enough to sustain a linkia. As I mentioned in the other thread, nobody really knows what linkias eat but it is common knowledge that they do not do well in "younger" tanks. If you do get the starfish, be sure that you acclimate it very very slowly as they tend to die if you don't. Good luck! | |
