I got this Linkia from pk1 a couple of weeks ago. He's been really shy, only one leg out, two legs out at the most but I haven't really seen him 100% out. Tonight I was happy to come home to this!

I thought this pic was cool b/c of all the different colors

does are my favorite starfishes, i cant wait to get one, and i want to get an orange one also. they eat algae right?
 
I didn't know you got one of those!!! Lucky SOB!! I need to come by and check it out all the new additions this weekend.
 
Here is a good article about them madadi. They are very mysterious and not much is known about proper care or what they eat. I figured I was lucky because I was getting the starfish from an established tank and the starfish had been in there for 6 months or so.

Yeah, I forgot to mention it ataylo! What with the new Achilles and the anthias, the Linkia kind of got put on the back burner. He didn't help the situation by moving into the rocks almost immediately.
 
I have seen it in person and its amazing, easily the best looking starfish i ever saw in person.

You are too kind my Mexican bro!
 
Its quite a nice starfish, im biased as well since blue is my favorite color. On a separate note, i should be ready for corals in about 2-3 weeks. just ordered a new skimmer last night and will be building a tank stand next week. My friend said i can have the lighting fixture in about 2 weeks, im making progress!
 
sweet, I might want frags from your corals :p
I have my eyes on a couple pieces if you would frag them. I also have my eye on some nice acros and lps i saw at DLC today, you really need to come out there Pat, i know your mainly into sps but some of the stuff there will amaze you.

I know, I KNOW!!! Of course they are having a sale this weekend and I'm out of town. When I go, I'm going with you Jose. You can introduce me to the devil and I'll shake hands like a gentleman.

You know my plan for the bottom of the tank, DLC should be able to help with that plan!!
 
Dont worry ill be going to DLC to stock up once my skimmer and lighting are on my hands, ill let you know. We can ride in the beaner mobile(my bad mofo 7 tone mitsubishi eclipse :p )
 
Achilles is doing well, bouncing in and out of ich by the hour. It's nuts, never seen anything like it.

The corals are doing as well as expected. One better than the other one but both hanging on. I fragged the millepora and all the pieces seem to be hanging on as well. It's going to be awhile before we know the final tally on those guy's!
