Orange marble starfish

[justinl]

well to be honest, i highly discourage sea stars in this hobby. like tony already pointed out, we don't even know what they eat! how on earth could we manage to properly care for these things. there are only a few we can care for, and those are fine, but the majority of stars are complete mysteries to us. i **** myself whenever i hear "what starfish can i keep in my nano?"

btw lickias are notorious for dying off quickly. over a few months in a tank is a good long time for them. blues are less hardy than the red but red is still not easy to keep alive long either.
