Default Red thorny star lost a leg
One of our 2 red thornys lost a leg and one of the peppermint shrimp was gonig nuts on him, I moved him away from the rockwork onto the the other side of the tank and the shrimp are leaving him alone now anyone know if this is normal?
I've heard that they can shed legs that become new stars on occasion.
