I think my red thorny starfish is dying? I’m not totally sure but it’s on the glass and is leaving white stringy stuff behind it.. I’ve read all sorts of stuff and can’t figure out if it is actually dying or not. One of its legs does look darker and it is moving a little differently so I assume it’s dying? Do I remove it.. or I’ve read some people will cut off the leg that is dying? Lol someone help! And thanks in advance :)

If it’s falling apart remove it. They’ll fall apart when they’re dying
