The good news is serpent and brittle stars do quite well if they have places to hide. :hmm2:
The bad news is the really like to hide! Especially during the day. I have 2 really beautiful stars in each of 3 tanks and I see them only on rare occasions when I feed. Otherwise they tend to stay under rocks.:fun2:

guys,
Need one help
i got 2 linkia in my tank, One blue and one orange.
My LFS gave my one dark olive green powder to dose and he says it is for all invertebrates including starfish,anemones etc.
It is a dark olive green power in a small plastic bag. He gave me following instructions to feed them
1. Take 1 glass of salt or RO water and add 2gm of that powder to glass and mix well.
2. Do target feeding through injection on each star and on every invertebrates and in entire aquarium and stop the water movement for 15-20 minutes.
3.repeat after every week.
can anyone please let me know what the product is it.
Thanks in advance.

That won't work. Linkias eat bio-film and possibly sponges, they don't filter-feed. Whatever product you've been given may work for corals and possibly some filter-feeding invertebrates, but not all- quite a few filter-feeders require food of a specific particle size and can't eat anything that isn't exactly right.
You may have been given some sort of dried phytoplankton, but honestly, your LFS guy is either badly misinformed or outright lying in order to sell you something. Anemones are best fed large chunks of meaty foods like shrimp and fish, which mimics their natural diet of whatever they can catch, and I don't think anybody's figured out a prepared food for linkias.
