I have a Blue Linkia Star in my 75 gallon reef tank. Also in this tank is one small hermit, two emerald crabs, three yellow tail damsels, and two clown who host a torch coral and never leave it.
I woke up this morning to my star was on the substrate with one leg folded under it's self. It has always stayed on the LR. SO, I picked it up to see if it was dead... it surely looks ill (it is not as "full" as it normally is). At this point I put it on top of the rock work to see if it will move, and noticed the tip of one arm is wounded! The very tip looks like something ate at it. It is all fleshy and torn up... Just the very tip. I have noticed that he has looked a little thin and week the last few day. He was on the back of the rock work for these last few days, so I am not sure if this happend a while ago or just last night.
What happend? Did one of my damsels do this, or was it one of my crabs?
Or... Is the star sick?
Help!!!!
