Linckia laevigata The Red Linkia Starfish has a bright Red body. In an aquarium setting it prefers a well-lighted sandy or coral rubble substrate, with many rocky hiding places. Th e Red Linkia Starfish is very intolerant of sudden changes in oxygen levels, salinity and pH of the water, and cannot tolerate copper-based medications. The drip acclimation method is highly recommended for all Sea Stars due to their intolerability to changes in water chemistry. It should never be exposed to air while handling, and should be carefully monitored for the presence of a small parasitic snail, Thyca crystallina. In the aquarium, small pieces of clam meat or tablets can be placed under the starfish.***Restricted/Expert Only Species-14 day guarantee does not apply*** Show more
