OMG what happened to my CC star?

He was feeding and was hanging out by the air wall and later that day he puffed up(center body not the arms) for about 4 hours. He shrunk back down but now he looks all saggy. Here are pics of Mr. Jones before and now

Any thoughts?

I posted this on the other, but maybe he just excreted waste. I saw an anemone do that once and the LFS said that was what was going on.

Mine does that sometimes. He gets all deflated and looks like he is all saggy (not as bad as yours got) but it does get really skinny. I was worried the first time, but just decided to wait. He does it every so often, so I am guessing this is his way of getting rid of waste just like some anemones do.

idk what to tell u about the star..but ditch the air bubbles...they have no place in ur aquarium...the water gets ample oxygen if good water movement is prvided..do u happen to know how much flow u have in ur tank? how old is ur tank...was it properly cycled? how big is the tank? stars need lots of room to move and eat or they will starve to death...
