    Hello all...well i just got gome today...and i realized that my starfish finally came out (SSS) i hadnt seem it in a while...i noticed that part of one of its arms was gone...its sorta older, i dont know how old they live mine is about 2 years (maybe more i got it 2 years ago) but...i would assume they live longer than that...actually i guess this is happening prolly cuz i put a rock on it when it was under the sand or somthing fell on it...or ate it? is this usually fatal? how should i help against bacterial stuff, i dont see anything now but...it could form? should i isolate it? i have a breeder box...thanks :(

    If its an injury i think heel recover fine if you let hime be and the water quality is good. If its a disease of somesort i have no clue. My orange fromia lost all of its legs at one point to a baby-juv. imperator and completley recovered.
