What is a good starfish to have?

Ok I got to ask, where is everyone getting the info from that a linkia can not be exposed to the air?? I have never read anything on this and have had linkias for over a year and it was exposed to the air. Can someone post more then 1 link to info on being exposed to air. I would like to read up on this.
What I have read is they are sensitive to fast pH, temp and alkalinity changes, nothing about the air. And my linkia used to hang out at the surface all the time with legs out of the water.

My reference is Smith and Foster. If you look up their reference to the Blue Licknia star you will see it. I mean Liveaquaria. Here it is. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=568
