Sea Stars

My tank is 2 weeks away from the 6 month mark and I'm starting to think about adding a star. I have two brittle stars that I discussed in another thread. However, I think my tank is mature enough to support a star that isn't a brittle. I was looking at blue linkias, red fromias, and red bali stars. What would you recommend? I've read a lot about linkias and fromias, but there is no information anywhere on balis. Any ideas or suggestions?

 

A bali star would eat all your coral in no time flat. Definately not reef safe.

 

ive tried linkias a three times i dont know there trick the longest lived was a around a year dont want to kill another so i stay away

 

agree with everyone, Linkias should also be left in the ocean.

 

Ok. What about Red Fromia stars. Or are there any other stars that people have had success with?

 

I was looking at marble stars. Does anyone have experience with them?

 

Marbled Fromia stars do well if you have a well established tank. However, if you don't have your tank stable, they'll die. They don't like temperature swings, pH swings, or salinity swings.
