My starfish is still alive and kicking . Maybe he just had the blues yesterday.

Thanks to all who gave input. I will keep posting if anything changes.

I have heard that some stars, like Linkia sp., should never be removed from the water.]]> Mon, 01 Mar 2004 12:42:40 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1998&PID=18761&title=linkia-starfish-sick#18761 <![CDATA[Linkia Starfish- Sick? : Jake... thanks for replying.

Jake... thanks for replying. I acclimated him for about 30min... Then slowly added some water from my tank. I am not really sure what else I can do for the guy. I'm hoping he's just adjusting- however, I'm thinking the worst because his energy level has dropped dramitically.

I think the key to keeping these delicate star fish is a slow acclimation.

How did you acclimate him?

I'm not sure there is anything you can do for him at this point.

A few days ago I purchased an Orange Linkia Starfish... This morning I came in and his tips were curled back... He has only moved about 1-2". I am concerned that he is sick. Does anyone have any input or ideas on how to diagnose this critter?]]> Mon, 01 Mar 2004 12:03:19 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1998&PID=18751&title=linkia-starfish-sick#18751
