So I went to my LFS to get a couple new star fish over the weekend. I’ve waited 2 years to get a couple stars because that’s what all the threads I’ve read recommended. The banded serpent I got is doing what they do best, hides all day and comes out at night to eat the shrimp I put in the sand bed. The thorny red star was active the first day but now just hangs out at the top of the tank bent over. I waited 2 years because I knew they eat the bacteria on the rock, I even started deliberately putting reef chili on the rock to stimulate bacterial growth a couple weeks before I got him.
Is this a normal this for stars to do? He still moves around but maybe only a couple inches but stays in the same top corner of the tank.
