"Van," are L. multiflora any hardier or less hardy or comparable to other linckia types?

After my burgundy linkcia (which I don't think is a true "Linckia" genus) self-destructed I have been turned off from these animals because the sense I get is that they are indeed rather "hit and miss" whether they will eat and thus survive longer than a few months, or not eat and eventually perish prematurely.

PS. Just as an aside, my "fragged starfish" legs did not grow into five new starfish. They all just shrank and eventually disappeared. So I don't know if I'd be going around telling people that it's fine if a linckia drops a leg and that you can happily expect two or more starfish to come out of the experience, and that people should start lining up now for the "frags." Unless L. multiflora is somehow more resilient than the others. Just my $0.02, for what it's worth.
