We got a neat orange/red starfish last week ... I don't even remember the name of it as I was out of town and just got back.
Anyway, a few hours ago I noticed he was hanging from a rock ledge, like he was just going to drop off it to the rocks below. Then I went to lunch.
I just returned and what do you know, now I have a 4 legged starfish sitting on the rocks below, with his other leg still attached to the ledge he was hanging from!
Say what?! There's no way any of my fish did this - they aren't big enough to bite through his leg like that. But it's also pretty hard to believe that his leg just snapped in half and he fell.
Is this normal? Will he live? Will it grow back?
And do starfish have legs or arms?
