Blue Linckia Sea Star

Has anyone had any luck with these guys? I think there beautiful but heard there hard to keep. I can't even find what size aquariums they need so any info on them if you have one would be greatly appreciated.

I've never had a problem with mine. I didn't know anything about them when I ended up with one when buying everything in a guys tank to get some live rock. Been through a couple of tank crashes and still going...

I have one in my 220. I've had him for about 6 months now so I'm waiting another 6 before I call it a success. He seems to be happy and is always on the go.

I have had one in my 90g for 1.5 years, and seems fine. He has not really grown much, but he is still kicking.

In January, I lost all my fish and a ton of corals due to a power outage, he survived it and I have no clue how since they are supposed to be super sensitive. I have not done much research about them on what they eat, but I know every time that I put a new frag or something in the tank, he is all over it. Must be going after sponges or something.

a 120 with a lot of live rock should be adequate. Make sure you drip acclimate it and get it from some where reputable to ensure it was handled properly on their end.
