We brought this neat looking starfish home from the Atlantic Ocean a few weeks ago...he's a sandy brown color and has horizontal black stripes...he hasn't been eating lately... any suggestions??

Well.... You might not want to advertise you've picked up an animal and brought it home... several states away.. for legal reasons.
As for it not eating? Depending on what state you visited, the water temp may be quite a bit less than whats in your tank....

Yes, without knowing more about where and how you found it, it is hard to tell. Can you get a picture? In general, it is bad practice to do this...you may introduce a predatory star, for example, into a reef tank. But if it was washed up on the beach, it may have already been unhealthy.
