starvation? Sand sifting stars should only be kept in very large, very eastablished aquariums as they are beneficial in stirring sand. Stars just aren't good overall to keep. The easy ones, usually with spikes, eat zoas. Start simple, then progress. Read up, google around and use the search here. There are TONS of articles here on this site that you can search and read up on.

i heard high nitrates is a reason why they lose legs

[Gseclipse02]

i googled it real quick and it basically says stress will cause it ....

also here was a interesting post


"Also, I don't believe that sand stars can regenerate lost legs or that their legs can grow into new stars. Linkia and like species can, but not all stars. Plus, sand stars are meet eaters and need a lot of critters in the substrate to feed on or else they will starve. A nano is not likely to sustain one long term. "
