+1 I tried it anyway. He was good for 6 months then went after my corals.
Stars that are reef safe and easier to care for. Serpent stars and brittle stars.
If you get a brittle dont' get a green one as they are known fish eater onther do good though.
Linkas need a large tank because their diet is unknown and usually starve. Sand sifting stars eat microfauna from the sand bed and will also starve if not in a large enough tank and deep enough sand bed.
