Any idea what’s going on with guy? Acclimation shock? We drip acclimated him and he’s been in the tank 4 days now. Checked nitrates (9ppm), ammonia (0) and pH (7.8). He just curled that leg up in the last few hours.

How old is the tank? Are you hand feeding him, has he ate anything? How big is your aquarium how long did you do the drip acclimation for?Any idea what’s going on with guy? Acclimation shock?

Ya that’s what I’m thinking he’s not getting enough food that’s usually the problem!!Unfortunately Most likely starving to death
I haven’t fed him anything, was told he would just eat the algae in the tank. It’s a 32 gal tank, and we did the drip acclimation over a two hour period. I’m feeling like I got some awful advice just so they could sell him.Ya that’s what I’m thinking he’s not getting enough food that’s usually the problem!!
Ya sounds like it. You need to feed him three things mussels, clams, and veggie sinking pellets at least twice a day!!I haven’t fed him anything, was told he would just eat the algae in the tank.

I've had my red linckia star for a year now and I have never fed it anything and it still looks good. I didn't even acclimate it. Floated it in the bag for a bit, then threw it in.Ya sounds like it. You need to feed him three things mussels, clams, and veggie sinking pellets at least twice a day!!
