orange starfish

[bowser220]

My starfish had five arms yesterday but only four today. I do not have any aggressive fish. Is it normal for it to lose an arm. The arm is sitting on the bottom of the tank and looks fine.

What else is in your tank?
When was the last time you tested your water and what were the values?

It is possible that your nitrates are to high, and your starfish is dying. Or it is also possible that the arm in the bottom of the tank will become another starfish. Oh yeah, starfish are very picky about water conditions.

The nitrates are 0 and the starfish is moving
