Losing Limbs

roli112 · 02/06/2017, 05:09 PM

So it seems like my sand sifting starfish had a run in with my MP40. How long does it normally take to regrow? Couldn't find any traces of the lost limb.

Starfish will start to lose limbs when they are dying too..
I'd bank more on that vs one getting into the powerhead..

(unless your photoslow site was showing a pic of it in the powerhead.. it was too slow to wait for the pic)

What else can I use instead of photosucks?

You can attach photos directly through this site via "attachments" section below where you post the message (go advanced if using quick reply)

But no need to post a pic now..
Its either dying or it did get chopped off and it can take some time (weeks to months) to regrow..

Only reason I think it got chopped is because it is up on the glass by the power head

If your using photobucket, just have the picture you want selected, there is an html code on right hand side. Click it and it auto copies for you. Come back to the thread and paste.

Time will tell..

How quickly can I see if its getting worse or better? Rather rehome it if you guys think its starving or something.
