Help!! I noticed this morning that my linkia star has a bubble on it's leg. My first thought was salinity burn. When we moved of course I couldn't save ALL the water but I got 80% so I needed to add salt and my husband did it. He usually helps me out and does a good job but I think it went up too much too fast. It's at .023 right now (whichi is higher than I normally like it). I just went over and took some pictures to post. I am so worried! Is there any treatment for him? Would a hospital tank with a lower salinity help? Is it even what I think it is?
Oh if you are wondering I didn't ever expose him to air. I put him in a bag under the water and let him loose under the water. I did even add water to his bag to get him used to it. My serpant starfish seem to be doing fine. I have had this star for over 6 months with no problems. I don't want to loose him now.
