Help! Starfish is stuck!

[fishfan77]

Hi..I just added a small serpent starfish to my biocube. It is so thin that it got in the bottom right intake. Any help on how I can get it out..once in a while it will stick a leg or two though the intake..I am not sure how to access it. thanks

Leave it, it will probably come out by it's self...

see if you can get him out with some food....something meaty, see if his arm comes out to get it and just move it away....more and more. then you will know if its ok.

My brittle star gets into the smallest holes and I was concerned at first he would get stuck, but he always gets back out. As they said, place something like raw shrimp far enough away that he cannot reach it and wait for darkness and see if he comes out.

its always fun to watch them grab food.

Any luck getting him to come out?
They are fun to watch, I feed mine by hand.

i've had him a few weeks, letting him get completely use to my tank. I'm sure i will see him more after that.
