First Loss:(

[partonks]

I lost one of the Brittle stars from my first SWF.com delivery last night. I tried to acclimate the stars slowly but I just don't think they're doing well. I haven't seen one of the Brittles or either of the serpents in a while, I'm afraid they're all dead and mucking up my water somewhere. Ironically, my blue Linkias seem to be doing the best. I guess time will tell.
I have a lot of crabs (hermits, 1 Sally Lightfoot, 3 Emerald) will these take care of the stars if they die out of sight?

I am sorry for your loss, it is hard losing one of your babies. I also lost a chromie yesterday, I have had it for 1 1/2 years. It jumped out and was onthe glass top in the middle. I found it went I went to feed last night.
As for not seeing your brittle star fish much. I have one the is never just hanging out. I have to hunt for it everymorning and every night. They come out at night, so chances our that they are fine, just doing what they are supposed to be doing.
