He was probably already dead. How did you acclimate him?

it seemed like he was eaten alive, but 2 days after i got him i did a water change and i know theyre intolerant to sudden shifts in water parameters...so its up in the air


eaten...or died =/

prolly died

you might as well take you star fish back and get a small type the big starfish like you have will climb on clams and other small inverts of fish and eat them too. they are just not for small fish of reef tanks.
