Asterina... it's what's for dinner
Here's a pic of my Linkia eating an Asterina. Cool... yet disturbing. Does this count as cannibalism?

Well, as I suspected but wanted to be false... Linkias do not eat asterinas. He spend a good 2 hours with the asterina in his mouth, then moved on. The asterina was not even mildly inconvenienced. So sadly, I did not discover a new food source for Linkias. It was illogical and wishful thinking... I really, really want a blue one as well, but supporting even one Linkia in good health in a 60 is difficult.
But... Cool picture!!!

Interesting that the linkia spent that much time with it, Cant say i ever saw that behaviour, then again I have only kept a few stars, mostly large brittles, I love the green ones.

Thanks! I owe the pic to the perfect pose of the Linkia.
Has anyone kept a blue linkia and an orange linkia? How big of a tank?
