Our quarantine procedures
Our quarantine procedures
We take livestock seriously. That's why we don't sell anything we wouldn't be comfortable putting in our own tank.
As we are direct from source, we import and sell direct to the public. This means you can buy with confidence knowing EMA prides itself on excellent handling and conditioning protocols.
All our fish held in a quarantine system for a minimum of 3 weeks. During this time, regular water changes are performed, and twice daily (or sometimes more) feedings are performed.
Copper is dosed and checked twice a day for ich and velvet.
During this treatment fish are given formalin baths for brooklynella and a minimum of 3 praziquantel doses is performed for flukes.
Blue Linckia Starfish
Description
Description
The Blue Linckia Starfish, Linckia laevigata, brings blue colour and slow movement to the rockwork. Its demanding nutritional needs make it a choice for experienced reefkeepers with a large, mature aquarium.
Aquarium care
Provide extensive established live-rock surfaces, stable salinity and gentle acclimation. Protect pump intakes and handle the animal carefully without pulling on its arms or tube feet.
Feeding
Long-term feeding is the main challenge. It depends heavily on natural food found on mature surfaces, and supplementary foods may not meet its needs. A new, very clean or lightly furnished aquarium is unsuitable.
Compatibility
Generally suitable with corals and peaceful fish. Avoid predators or animals that pick at starfish, and monitor condition closely after introduction.
