Serpent Star has lost all his legs and is just the body with little nubs sticking out.

So I screwed up and didn't acclimate my Serpent Star properly and just put him into this new tank I set up. 2 days later I noticed his legs starting to break off slowly in little bits and pieces. He now looks like a throwing Star. He won't eat and is barely moving. Should I just wait it out and hope he recovers or should I go ahead and euthanize him. Any advice would help please.

Not sure where you're at with your tank, you said "New tank I just set up" assuming you've cycled before adding it. If you did, and there's no other livestock, remove the legs (if you haven't already) and wait it out...
