    Well I'm not sure what's going on... thus is my first actual starfish... I got this starfish last weekend & everything seemed to be going ok, then I see this string like thing floating around it... so after further investigation I find out it is the the inside muscle like material from inside the starfishes arm...it does not seem to be dead or anything... it still moves around bending its arm & everything... so my question is... is this normal or did my tail spotted wrasse (hoevens wrasse) do this? I have never seen it mess with it & the guy told me should not b a problem... it doesn't go eating on the stuff...& it swims right through it... I'm not sure! Here is a "you tube" video to let you see what I see...
    Thank you fellow reefers!
