hello, just got back from a frag show, and I put my serpent starfish in, it was bubbling up in the bag just like in the photo, but I put it in, the bubble deflated and inflated again! He’s not moving! HELP!

There’s nothing you can do but just keep an eye on it. If it start to fall apart remove it

The idiot that packed it exposed it to air. It swallowed air and died... it was bubbling up in the bag, and I pushed down on the bubble and air came out.
