Aquarium Advice Newbie
so i have a blue starfish and a chocolate chip starfish in the same tank. they have been doing completely fine with each other for the past 2 or 3 weeks. but when i came home from dinner last night the chocolate chip starfish was on top of part of the blue starfish's leg and had his stomach out and wrapped around his leg trying to eat it. i immediately removed the chocolate chip starfish and the blue starfish seemed to do fine and was moving around. when i got up this morning the part of the leg that was slightly injured looking from being eaten was falling off and by the afternoon it was completely gone. i figured that was his way of amputation. well, i went into my room and noticed the chocolate chip starfish was trying to eat the blue starfish's leg where he had the "open wound" from self amputation. so now there is his white insides streaming from it where i pulled the chocolate chip star off. is the blue one going to be okay??? would he be okay if the chocolate chip star leaves him alone? is there any hope at all?!?! the blue one seems to be fine other than the missing leg and insides falling out slightly.... PLEASE HELP ME!!!
