Starfish

[HartfordWhalers]

Anyone know if its okay to keep more than one breed of starfish (linkia) in a reef tank. Would they attack eachother or i dunnno get hurt if theres three or four?

I think it would be OK, as in they won't kill each other (except obvious predatory stars), but we don't know the exact linckia feeding requirements, so it's hard enough to keep one, much less 3 or 4.

I agree with Dragonet-dude. In a small tank they will likely starve because they will all be competing for the same food. Actually from what I've read a linkia will probably starve in a small tank in a year or so even if it's the only starfish in the tank.
