Blue Linckia Starfish dying?

Recommended Posts

Any starfish experts here can help me with this? My blue linckia starfish has been with me for more than 6 months. I have ensured proper acclimation when I bought it and it was doing fine initially.

However, since about 2-3 weeks ago, I noticed the tips of its arms seem to be disintegrating and the body look limp and not as firm as it should be. For the past few days, it has stayed at the same spot, moving just within inches of that spot. Below is a picture of it and a close up picture of one of the tips.

Would appreciate if someone can advise why/how this happened and how I can save it. Thanks much.

I guess it's due to temperature?? Dun think food and salinity is the issue here.
