Star growing new leg :)

[meowzer]

March 3rd, my orange linkia got a leg cut off in my new MP40

TODAY.....30 days later.....FINALLY a new leg is growing...I wonder how long it will take to be complete...I think I will keep track of this

 

[gemmy]

Neat! I wonder if the leg will show any sign of deformity. If a reptile drops its tail, it usually grows back much fatter.

 

[meowzer]

IDK, BUT I think it will be interesting to watch this......I will update as I see changes or weekly....I have NO CLUE how quick or long this may take

 

[meowzer]

Well I was waiting for it to come to the front...BUT it won't....so here it is ONE WEEK LATER

 

[meowzer]

Week 3

 

[gemmy]

It is getting bigger but very slowly.

Is that in your 225? How much LR is in there? Is the orange much different than the blue?

Yes, it is the 225G....LR=A LOT LOL....probably 200 or so lbs
Wellthe orange one is orange...and the blue one...is well....BLUE

I really don't know...I think I read somewhere that the blues are harder to keep....WHY I HAVE NO CLUE.....I would like to have one though

Week 4.....I added 2 pics...hoping you can see the tentacles

 

[al&burke]

So I guess he crawls around in circles since he lost his appendage? LOL

 

[meowzer]

LOL...AL....

 

[meowzer]

STAR IS SICK....NEED HELP
OK...so we all know on March 3rd, it lost a leg...I have been documenting the re-growth...BUT the last couple of days, its other leg tips look like this. This is not a new star. I have had it since July 2010
ANY IDEAS????

 

[monsinour]

Patrick needs a Krabby Patty.
It does look funny but I have no clue what to offer advice wise.

How long ago did you introduce the blue linkia? Maybe the blue introduced a bacterial infection that this one caught since its immune system is compromised.

IDK.....I just Don't know

 

[gemmy]

That bites. I know the blue stars are pretty tough to keep for any length of time.

 

[meowzer]

Well it's alive, cause i see that it moves.....it just doesn't come out

 

[1guydude]
