Aquarium Advice Regular
I want a startfish so bad but I want coral so I want to know what starfish is the best for me I have a 25 gallon love sand and live rock
love sand? what is that.
anyways i'm assuming you don't want the small brittle starfish that usually gets introduced into the tank via live rock. there's some luck in getting linkia sea star and sand sifting sea star provided that you have a well established tank and if the available food runs out you have to manually put food underneath them so that their mouth can reach the food. i have a serpent sea star that's almost 2 feet long measuring from one tip of the arms to the opposite side of the arm. it's omnivorous so it will eat anything. but if your tank is new, i wouldn't recommend it. just be cautious with any starfish because if it dies in the tank, you're asking for headache.
Oh sorry I meant i love coral
Yep, a brittle star or serpent star are your best bets. regular linkia's and other star fish of that type are either not reef safe or very hard to maintain.
I was un-aware that linkias are considered not reef safe, why do you say that?
