slime on orange lankia starfish

[lillys Grandad]

my orange starfish was wrapped up around the light mount and had a bunch of funk on it..it looked like a spider web?...I touched him to see if he was ok and he went falling...he then turned himself over and went up into the rocks...seems to be a bit un socialble for the past day or so...
parameters are all good...food seems ample.....mysis, flake and photo-plex
Should I be concerned...

In short yes.

Linka's are tough to keep alive. Don't know if they do not get enough of right food in tank or what. I have tried several times to keep one. They never last long.

Someone else here may report having success, but must be doing something different then I am...

If looking sickly, probably best to pull from thank.



Sorry.
