Hi all,
I ordered the orange sea star from liveaquaria because they had it listed as an echinaster sp. and I had heard these were an easier star to keep. I received it today and the bag is labeled linckia. I wouldn't have bought a linckia.

Just wanted to post this as a heads up for anybody else that might make the same mistake as me. I did't find any threads when I searched the forum before ordering, but maybe I missed it or didn't know what to look for. I think I got mixed up because there is another kind of echinaster called "common star" from other sellers that people have good luck with. So when I saw liveaquaria had an echinaster I got excited. I'm not sure why they would have it classified differently on the website and the bag.
