Red Fromia Starfish
I had a red fromia starfish kick the bucket, before I noticed he was dead he had already started disinigrating and arms pulling apart. Today when I got in their to pull it, the star had completely disingrated and is gone. What do I do, if anything?
I did a water change and vacuumed the best I could on the gravesite. Current Aquarium(s) Description: 90 Gallon Reef with 30 Gallon Sump/Refugium Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 2 years

Re: Red Fromia Starfish
All you can do is keep an eye on your parameters and hope for best.
Hate to hear about the loss.

Re: Red Fromia Starfish
If it's gone, it's gone. Your cleaner crew probably took care of it. Like Yote said, keep your eye out for spiking parameters and be ready to do a water change.
