So, I set my tank up 2 months ago with cured rock, and water from the fish store. A month and a half ago I put in two fish, then some invert's. A week ago I added the Starfish. All the other fish/inverts/coral/anemones are fine. I feed them frozen brine shrimp and sometimes flakes.
Ammonia = 0
Nitrites = 0
Nitrates = 30
pH = 8.2
Salinity = 1.023
Temp = 79
There have been no changes in those values for about a month and a half.
Now, after a week the Starfish has this stringy stuff hanging off him, and a couple of his arms look like they're dying just at the ends. He also has small orange bubbles on his body. I noticed it after he was in the tank for only 3 or 4 days.
I acclimated him for 2 hours - looks like there is plenty of algae for him. Any suggestions of what (if anything) is wrong or how to treat it?
Here is a picture of him -
