I bought a starfish at my lfs that has been there for many months, about a week ago. I know they need to be acclimated very slowly, which i did. 2.5 hrs. It never looked great in my tank, which can be normal for a while, but he is now halfway between the sandbed and glass with one arm flopped back over him. Looks shrively in general to me. Is there anything i can do to help this guy? Idk if hes even alive at this point. I have a 125 gal fowlr. Salinity is 1.024. Ph is 8.2, temp is 78. Nitrates and nitrites, and ammonia are non existant.
 
Pick him up and see if he moves... when mine died it got kind of gooey
