The only alternative is different species of Starfish.

They will take almost all kinds - but seem like the linkia sp. is a favourite.

You don't have to cut anything - just get small stars and feed the whole thing. If you don't want to feed it anything live- forget about keeping a halequin shrimp.

Yes they are reefsafe.

Yea...the cost of feeding them when starfish stocks are low is very expensive. Just bought an orange linkia just to feed my pair...can buy me 3 packets of chicken rice already...... :pinch:

Always something more important than fish.

either your chicken rice very cheap or you starfish very expensive... starfishes cost $5 max .. can even find $3...

Why do we use "My 2 cents worth" when 1 cents are not legal tender in Singapore anymore? Shouldn't it be 5 cents worth?

No lah..coz now starfish very hard to find..so just bought one $6 orange linkia to feed.

Normally I use sand stars as they are local and a cheaper alternative. About half the above price only.

Avoid blue linkias (the big ones). I find they tend to die off before the shrimps have even eaten 1/3 of them. And they end up polluting your water.

Harlequins seem to hate chocolate chip starfish in my experience. :rolleyes:

2 weeks is not very long. If the blue linkia survives perfectly fine without dying off, a hand sized specimen should last a pair a month or more.

then how long the orange linkia can survive? :huh:
