Awesome catch!

I have a linkia I have had for about a year now. Somehow it got caught on a vortech and really torn up. I turned the pump off and let the star get off on his own. Hid for a week, and is now cruising the tank again like nothing happened. Funny now that you mention it, I used to have a lot of asternia stars as well but no longer do.

We need to get a study going =]
