Purple Linckia Starfish
Purple Linckia Starfish, Leiaster teres, is found on several of the reefs surrounding the Mexican coasts. More appropriately known as a Sea Star, this echinoderm makes a gorgeous addition to the reef aquarium with its vibrant purple coloration. It can be found looking for uneaten food and microscopic prey on the glass, rock, or sand.
Notes: Linckia Starfish are extremely sensitive to sudden changes in water parameters and to the presence of copper. Extra care and time should be taken whenever acclimating this animal. Linckia Starfish must never receive exposure to air during acclimation.
