Best survival rate for a starfish?

[PIPSTER]

Do you have a photo of the reef and non reef safe ones? My LFS has them at times.

What kind of sea star is the one you indicate as 'good'? I have one that used to eat scallop but now refuses everything and has shrunk over the last year. What eshould I try to feed it? I've tried shrimp, krill, and fish meat when it refused scallop.

Don't want to be a hijacker but what do you feed the one indicated as hood? I have one that used to eat scallop but now refuses all that I've tried. Shrimp, krill, fish meat. It's shrunk over the last year but hasn't died.

I've tried orange linkia and red fromia, never had luck. The blues have been the only ones I've been able to keep. Current one is going on 2 years.

Orange linckias are fairly solid as long as there is decent sand/rock for them to roam around and find food. (Stay away from the blue ones, though.) Sand sifting stars are also an easier star to keep. I've had one of each for about 7-8 months now.

Why stay away from blue? Helpful to hear more on your opinion on this, please.
