Heres my sand sifting starfish since ive had over 3 months, its been doing so well it was very active but for the past week or 2 its been just chilling in one spot and not as active. i also noticed its been a color change on its bottom from khaki to pink/purplish. all of my corals clams and other invertebrates seem to be doing just fine but his movement does concern me. i can see it is still alive due to its polyps reaching out but seems a bit weak.. anysupport feedback is greatly appreciated!

Seems like it loaded.

How old is the tank?

Without sufficient microfauna, starfish often starve, even these sand shifting ones
