This morning, I discovered that my Pink Mosaic Starfish is having problems. One of the tips of his legs seems to be disintegrating. Another leg is starting to go at the very tip as well I think.
My tank levels are all good except for my nitrates, which are high, but run in the "safe" zone on the test strips (around 20 i think). He's been fine up til this morning. I don't have any fish that pick on him, though I can't vouch for what the hermit crabs do at night, lol.
Any thoughts or ideas? Anyone have experience with Mosaic Stars, or have something like this happen to any of their starfish?
Is there anything I can do to try to save the starfish, or do I need to get it out of my tank before it dies and starts decomposing?
