Blue Linkia

[Titus77]

Hello. I just bought a Blue Linkia Sea Star and I am wondering what to feed it. Thanks in advance!

Here's a couple good articles.

So...basically, you are saying that nobody REALLY knows what they eat, so just experiment?

A large, well established tank would be your best bet. Hopefully there will be some sort of sustenance in there.

I think that I will try to spot feed it. Would freeze-dried krill be ok?

I don't really know.

I've had one, will never have another. Very tricky. GL.

It's not going to take any sort of food from you. You either have its food on your rocks or you don't. For 2 years I didn't, but now for the past year it seems I do. And yet even now I look at my linkia with a sense of dread (and wonder at its beautiful color), still worrying that I'll see signs of it starting to melt. I truly hope yours does well - I still think they are one of the coolest animals possible for a reef tank.
