Is the Blue Linckia ( Linckia laevigata) reef safe?
Yes, reef “safe” in so much as they don’t generally try to eat organisms people purposely keep in such systems (they’re detritus, micro-invertebrate feeders… best kept on sandy to rubble bottom systems that have a rich population of infauna…)… but not such good reef organisms in their propensity to die… most often soon after collection/shipping/installation… and pollute system water… If you try this Blue Linckia, get a smaller individual, and keep your eye on it… daily.
