Yesterday I added 3 serpent sea stars. This morning one is out in the open, barely alive, and probably down for the count. Four legs are totally missing, about a inch of one leg remains. (Didn't see the other two stars.)
I was careful to acclimate and figured he died because of the new surroundings, transport, etc... but, his one partial leg is still moving so he is still alive.
Residences include:
<ul>
<li>Pair of clowns</li>
<li>Purple tang</li>
<li>Walker Gobie</li>
<li>Royal Gamma</li>
<li>Cleaner shrimp</li>
<li>2 emerald crabs (Haven\'t seen in months)</li>
<li>3 peppermint shrimp (haven\'t seen in months)</li>
<li>Sea cucumbers</li>
<li>Many snails</li>
<li>Mandarin</li>
<li>A few small hermits</li>
</ul>
Temp - 79.0
pH - 8.26
NH4 - 0
NO2 - 0
NO3 - 10
SPG - 1.024
ALK - 10.9
Ca - 450
PO4 - 0
Should I just chalk this one up to stress or do I have something more sinister lurking around? (Tank has been setup for 7 months.)
