The **Linckia Starfish** is a captivating and graceful marine creature. These starfish typically have five elongated arms and are predominantly seen in vibrant orange hues.

**Linckia Starfish** can grow up to 12 inches in size and require a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. They are gentle creatures that generally coexist peacefully with corals, invertebrates, and fish, making them an excellent choice for reef aquariums.

These starfish thrive in larger aquariums with plenty of established live rock and sand. During the day, **Linckia Starfish** often hide among the rocks, emerging in the evening and night to feed. Their diet mainly consists of biological film and certain types of algae found on rocks, making them valuable members of a tank's cleanup crew. It's important to avoid housing them with large fish that prey on fleshy invertebrates, such as triggers and puffers.

**Linckia Starfish** are highly sensitive and should not be exposed to air, as this can be fatal. When introducing them to a tank, they need to be acclimated over at least two hours.
