Help my serpent star has a hole in his disk. What could be wrong?

It is purty hot too.

I am assuming the OP is from Texas...

If this is what Texas is like . I think it might take a lot for a Canadian to get used .

This isn’t even a purty kind of hot .
My truck said 42°.

Assuming there could possible be another serpent or brittle star on the stocking list ?

I definitely want to get another serpent star at some point. I do have a brittle star and he seems good

Is 104 with any humidity?

104°F is equal to 40°C
The actual temp today was mid 30’s but with humidity felt like 39°

With a lot of humidity. It feels like a sauna outside.

How about you lot sending some sunshine over to the UK. Wettest summer ever, probably.

No I didn’t anything new or different

Hmm.. i saw that you added medication? I wouldn't as most medications made in aquariums are toxic for invertebrates which is why they mostly use it on QT.. also if you want a leggy starfish i would go for brittle starfish as they are incredibly hardy and unlike serpent starfish they actually show off their magnificent arms waving around like theyre a kraken.. they also get bigger compared to serpent.

Oh and becareful with algaecide! Its what killed my brittle star :<

It’s Seachem focus and metroplex added to the food. I didn’t put it in till after the star fish was already getting a hole. I’ve used it before in the tank when one fish has ick. The fish store told me it was safe for everything so I hope so. I do have a brittle star also. He’s doing good
