 Re: help help sick starfish Wish i knew what to tell you but, most every book i have read, says not to keep the Linka Starfish, because they have such a high mortality rate... they just don't do well in captivity.... Thats why i don't have one... Most don't make it past the first year... Hope he gets better though! i know some people can keep them sucessfully... good luck!!!!
