    So my neighbor's mom came down on vacation and went to the beach. They found this starfish by the shore but still in the water they thought it was dead. So when they got back she had a bunch of dead sea urchins and then realized the star was still alive. So they brought it by and I have had him in the tank for a few months now. I have noticed that the tips of its legs are starting to break. Did some research and found out they do that when they don't have no more room. Since I finally got some time off from work we will be releasing it back to the ocean. Just wanted to share this cool looking starfish with all of you before it goes back to the ocean.
