A Blue Linckia Starfish, Photographer: Richard Ling

• Also Known As: Blue Sea Star, Comet Sea Star, or Blue Starfish
• Disposition: Non-aggressive.
• Hardiness: Very Sensitive. Needs slow acclimation and cannot withstand shocks in oxygen levels, salinity or Ph.
• Reef Safe: Yes
• Feeding: Little is known about the feeding habits of reef safe starfish. These starfish will wander the aquarium looking for food and may eat eggs, algae, etc.

Blue Linckia are prized for their beautiful and rare (in starfish) blue coloration. Unfortunatly, they are quite reclusive and will spend most of their time hiding in the rock work.

They are quite hardy in the wild and any piece cut off the starfish can reproduce asexually, however, in the home aquarium the opposite is true, and nearly any injury will result in death.

These starfish have not been successfully bread in captivity and must be collected from the wild.
