    Hey I just bought a red star fish im not sure the exact breed that is all they said that it was. I acclimated him for 1hr to my tank and he seemed fine all day yesterday he was moving around every where. Then I woke up this morning and he had these egg or seed looking things strung coming off his back what is that? Is my starfish dying and if so is there anything I can do to save it?

    that looks very interesting. I don't think it's a sign of dying....I'm not real knowlegeable about starfish but they tend to kind of disintegrate as they die or at least that's what I've seen happen. Bump for your question
