You found it on the beach and put it in your tank? :thinking: Not too sure about doing that, but hopefully someone will chime in for you. Cool star...but...well, I don't know.

Well i know what you mean about putting it in the tank. We quarantined him in a seperate tank. We made sure he was definatly stable enough to be in the fuge. He isnt in the main tank, not yet atleast. I'd like to find out more info on him first. Plus he was on the brink of death when we found him. Some kid probably snatched him out of the water like he was a toy and just left him on the shore. He would have died if it wasnt for us. Some may say let nature do its thing but I think I did the right thing!

Beautiful starfish,
wish I had one.
But take caution, I believe some areas in Florida, it is violation to harvest live specimens. :notsure:

yeah we were not looking for him. I think some kid plucked him from the water and left him on the shore to die. We rescued him. Dont know if he is going to make it though.
