I got an orange linckia star Saturday morning. Floated the bag in the tank and drip acclimated him until Sunday at noon. I'm a little paranoid because the first starfish I tried (a fromia) started dying in 24 hours, and that was with an 8 hour drip acclimation. He didn't last week.
Anyway, the starfish shows no signs of stress as far as I can tell. His body is contorted to match the contours of the rock. But there is stringy stuff around him and the rock he is on, where there was none in the tank before. What is this stuff? Plus, he hasn't moved from the rock since I put him in the tank. Is this normal behavior?
