Starfish Dead???

Our blue linkia is lying upside down in the tank. Is it dead? It is hard to tell how long he hasn't moved for. If we don't remove him quickly can it be detrimental to the fish in the tank?

Any die off in the tank is never good.It is so hard to tell with those stars.They are so hard and rigid and don't move very fast.

if anything dies in your tank, remove it as soon as possible. it will require alot of unnecesay work if you dont.
(water changes and filter changes, etc.)
