I've done what many have said to be impossible and finally decided to get a linkia star for my tank. After a trip to a reef wholesaler (where I bought about a 1000$ worth of coral for 300$) I picked up what I believed to be a very healthy and wholesome looking starfish and made sure not to expose to air and bagged him myself. At home he was carefully drip acclimated for 2 hours and then real eased into the tank. it's now been a week and he still is very active and has no signs of sickness or arm breakdown. Pics to come when i get wifi

From what I've observed it seems alright, my research points to almost immediate disintegration, yet he's shown none

I think if you get lucky with one things will be fine, but it's obvious to see the bad reputation they make
