    Hey all. I just got some new starfish. A double star and a Linki. Any advice on keeping them.

    I don't know too much about them, but I had a Linkia and he was hard to keep. Only was alive for a month or so then started to loose all of it's legs. Wish I could help you more!

    If you want to keep starfish you must remember that they are EXTREMELY sensitive to salinty flucuations-slow and easy on acclimation and monitor carefully- if subjected to even fairly minor changes they can be consumed buy necrosis (not sure about the spelling on that one!) - basicly they will just melt away starting at the legs and finally completely rotting away- if you can manage that they will pretty much take care of themselves
