Blue Linkia Issue

[geekreef_05]

Ive heard that linkia's can cause tank crashes if they die. I spotted my little linkia (3") the other day and he wasnt looking so good. He's been in the tank about 6-7 months and I suspect my new reef lobster of taking a snap at him as the linkia was missing one of his legs. I have done a small water change since, but Im just worried about this causing an issue with the rest of my tank. The linkia was moving around the sandbed when I saw him; his stub from the missing limb was white on the severed edge.

Any advice? Comments? I really dont wanna wipe out this tank due to a potentially dying little linkia. (Poor guy).

I have a QT that he could go into, but the QT is meant for fish and basic inverts, it doesnt have terribly stable water param's.

happy reefin'

I guess if the tank was small enough and the linckia large enough it might happen but normally linckia type stars die all the time and don't wipe out the tanks. There are many times more dead than ones that survive long term.
