Black Tip Sea Star Help!


noob cube

Recommended Posts

I got this guy today .... When I got home looked at him and say the brown stuff at first I thought maybe he was pooping ... Upon further inspection it almost look like that his body exploded and his guts are coming out! Any one ever see or expirence this? Is he doomed? I have been drop acclimatizing him and he has been moving. It seems as if it's both sides of his body. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Looks like it's starting to decay. I know this sounds weird, but see if you can sniff it. If he smells rotten, that means he's going to snuff it sooner than you think. And yes, their only orifice is under their bodies, not over it. Alk swings and bacterial infections can cause sea stars to decay and degenerate rather rapidly.
