    my orange starfish was wrapped up around the light mount and had a bunch of funk on it..it looked like a spider web?...I touched him to see if he was ok and he went falling...he then turned himself over and went up into the rocks...seems to be a bit un socialble for the past day or so...
    parameters are all good...food seems ample.....mysis, flake and photo-plex
    Should I be concerned...:confused:

    In short yes.

    Linka's are tough to keep alive. Don't know if they do not get enough of right food in tank or what. I have tried several times to keep one. They never last long.

    Someone else here may report having success, but must be doing something different then I am...

    If looking sickly, probably best to pull from thank.



    Sorry.
