raeh1 Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Three of his legs look half biten off. He is spending alot of time out the front of the tank under the halide. This is not common for a brown bristle starfish. He is not really responsive to food either. I have had him about 8 months and was fine till the move. Since the move I found three crab skeletons. I haven't introduced anything new so I am not sure whats up. Maybe you guys may have some ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasp Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 You may be onto it with the crab thing, I read on RC they will mess with brittlestars if they are short on better food. Do brittlestars get old & die anyway? I've had the one below for 6 years he was very small whan I first got him I think it's a different one to you though. I've always got rid of all crabs except those little peach coloured acro ones. this is about all I see of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
