The Purple Linckia Sea Star (Linckia purpurea) belongs to the family named Ophidiasteridae. The Purple Linckia Sea Star is passive in nature and sensitive in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Linckia purpurea in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include high water quality and a well established aquarium.
