Sand Star missing digits

[Aquaholic]

Well...

I have had my tank going for about 3 months now, 2 inch bed (small sand) I also have a goby and some snails to sift the bed (i didnt think it was getting sifted around enough so i bought the star. It seems healthy, the legs look like they more "fell off" i guess.

40-45 gal tank "tall cube"
60 lbs of live rock

P.s. hes a fairly small one (leg to leg only about 3")

Try target feeding it to keep it alive.

What kind of goby do you have?

[Aquaholic]

Yellow watchman, hes doing really well. even says hi once and a while

I'm still looking for a yellowhead jawfish.

Get a pistol shrimp for him, they might pair up for you.

[Aquaholic]

Have you seen any around town?

I would definetly like to try and pair them up, its sound intersting.

Opps never mind your in edmonton, just saw

dont take this the wrong way but really truely "healthy" starfish legs don't fall off. your sand bed has been stripped off all nutrients, your snails alone can probably manage the cleaning task.

You can bring livestock in from places other than your home town.

Ocean Aquatics has some pistol shrimp in I believe. They even have pairs you can buy.

But im a bit of a in the moment kind of guy.
