Default RIP Linkia Sea Star

We are mourning the passing of our beautiful Blue Linkia Sea Star. My previous posting seems rather prophetic now. Lesson learned.

Ohhh, it was concerning the fact that I purchased one of these buggers without researching it. I read here recently that they require expert care and I am just as far from expert as they come (although I have learned quite a bit on this site----it's scary how much information is available in these forums). So I started a thread to see just what kind of horrible mistake I made. Looks like I found out. Won't happen again.

Linkia's require no experts at all what they do require is a older established tank for them to feed in. Nothing is really know about what they eat as i mentioned last time Just good water parameters I'd always use a ground probe very sensitive to voltage I find . But in general not that delicate at all . Oh you will and can read about them and you'll see people saying that they can never be exposed to air LOL or high temps and yadda all a bunch of Bull. In the wild they will move all over exposed rocks at low tide to get to little tidal pools in the tropical sun. Let your tank run a yr and get another one you'll be fine .
