Yesterday I got a pygmy cherub angel and today my starfish is not moving. It fell off a rock and is lying on its back - he always flips himself. He is very active usually and this behaviour is particularly unusual. what should I do?!

Flip it over, keep an eye on it and if it continues it could be slowly dying. Many starfish don't do well longterm in our tanks and slowly die.
