"Despite the beauty and obvious widespread interest in these stars, surprisingly little is really known about the exact feeding behaviors or preferences of these animals in the wild, and only anecdotal accounts are available for their needs in the aquarium. That is kind of surprising, given that Linckia is one of the most common and obvious sea stars on many Indo-pacific reefs. "
Pour faire court : il n'y a aucune certitude sur la nature exacte de l'alimentation des Linckia dans la nature et seulement des anecdotes quand à leurs besoins en aquarium.
Based on the anecdotal evidence from aquaria, however, L. laevigata is generally thought to be primarily an opportunistic scavenger, perhaps being even saprophytic (preferring to consume dead items as they begin to decay), but as also been observed to apparently feed on algae and microbial films as a non-selective surface grazer. I say ‘apparently feed’ because to the best of my knowledge there has never been a single scientific study on the natural diet or nutritional requirements of these stars, and controlled feeding experiments are rarely done on animals in reef tanks at home.
Grosso modo : Basé sur les anecdotes des aquariophiles, L. laevigata est principalement un charognard opportuniste (de préférence animaux mort et en décomposition), mais a également été vu manger des algues et filme micro-biologique par broutage non sélectif...
Il n'y a jamais eu d'étude scientifique sur leur alimentation et leur besoin nutritifs.
