lildodoo Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 My serpent star just came out of hiding and the top to his body is gone. Any guesses as to what could have done this?? Thanks for any help..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don duncan Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 what kind of fish do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Looks like starvation to me or disease. I had that happen to a few of my starfish. The first part to decay when they are sick is the central disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildodoo Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 I don't think its starvation, my other serpent just came out and he is a little torn up also. I have a clown, few damsels, sailfin tang, coral beauty, purple tang, diamond goby, mimic tang, peppermint shrimp, & red fire shrimp.

Wippit Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 If they both came out of hiding at the same time could that indicate some environmental issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reybeast Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 had this happen to mine last year, looked like someone took a paper hole punch to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mFrame Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 The damage looks pretty uniform to have been an attack by a fish/crab/etc. I would guess some other kind of disease or parasite, but that is just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
