Purple Linckia Starfish

Purple Linckia Starfish (Linckia teres) is a stunning echinoderm prized for its rich, deep purple coloration and smooth, velvety surface. Its vibrant tone makes it one of the most eye-catching and elegant starfish available in the marine aquarium hobby.

Unlike more aggressive species, the Purple Linckia is reef safe and peaceful, spending its time slowly grazing across live rock and substrate. It contributes to a natural, balanced ecosystem while adding graceful movement and visual appeal to established reef tanks.
