Anyone have any starfish fall apart ?

I had 3 red starfish in my 75 gallon that basically fell apart after a year. Now in my little tank at work one I got from Rich is falling apart also, you can see the disc now in the middle without skin. There is also skin falling off on the legs ?

Due to a lack of proper diet I believe.

yeah, it's not getting what it wants to eat... you'd feed it more natural/meaty foods would be my gues.

I have been thinking about getting a blue or orange Linkia and everything that I have read is that they are omnivores with most places saying that they feed on detritus and rotting food. So maybe you don't have enought rot in your tanks.

Here is one link that I had that tells about them:http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/ ... toonen.htm
