    Unhappy Please help.....Re: Chocolate Chip Starfish

    My husband and I just purchaced 3 choclate chip star fish and within 24 hours one disintegrated ..we have looked for a reason why this happened. after acclimating them to our saltwater tank (we have one other who we have had for 4 months and have no problems with) they new starfish keep curling up onto themselves almost into a ball. has anyone else experienced this and if so what can i do to make sure i don't lose anymore of my starfish. if not does anyone have any ideas where i might find out a reason for what is happening. we have tested everything in the tank . I have run out of ideas.

    I have no idea... but, I am curious as to why this would happen. I am picturing them shriveling up... It's almost like they were not used to the water... to much salt?? Anyway, I have no idea and will wait for a real answer from someone else. Sorry
