crazy linkia star transformation !!

[gkaquatic]

thought id share my wild linkia star that has changed colors over the past 2 months. never knew this could happen in star, corals and fish yes but not inverts! it was cool to watch him go through it.

* dont mind the grape caulerpar thats taking over the tank. the tanks being redone in a few weeks. sick of trying to get the macro out, so tank upgrade and new rock is my answer..haha

That is awesome! I've read that the juveniles are blue/green and then change to blue but I have never actually seen it. Thanks for the pics!!!
