Linckia blue starfish are an amazing and unusual color to see on the reef making a great focul point. Blue stars benefit from brightly lit aquariums as it this aids the growth of algae and bacteria on surfaces that the starfish can feed on, likewise lots of live rock and a well established reef tank will also help the starfish find naturally occurring food.
Blue starfish require optimal water conditions and will not tolerate rapidly changing water parameters and are therefore better suited to more experienced reef keepers.
Linckia stars can reach quite a size in the wild but in captivity they're rarely seen much over 15 cm in diameter.
