Should i leave a piece of shrimp on the bottom by the rock and if he doesnt eat it by the end of the night should i just remove it?

Star fish are nocturnal by nature so he may go after it after the lights are out.

Hate to hear that bud, If you lived closer id give you one. If you decide to get another give it a real slow drip and remember salinity is key. Id say your next experience with one will be a lot better.

he was pretty cool i got him in a cleaner kit sadly because i'm in college i have to move my tank 4 times a year because i cant leave it here so i think that puts a lot of stress on the fish. Its the main reason I don't have corals or a bigger tank :\

Sorry.

Your getting it though. We're all learning.
Good water and keeping the tank clean will reduce the stress on a move.
For them and you

Just posting an update on the tank case anyone was wondering I recently had a really big algae out break after the serpent died which has since been resolved so I figured I'd upload a little photo of what the tank is looking like.

There is a little dried salt around the back and front since I haven't cleaned the outside of the tank yet also the sides and back have a little green algae but i decided to keep it but let me know what yall think

also the rock is a bit white in places but that is because about a month or so ago i broke a really big rock into smaller pieces which thats why the rock on the left is very white. The other side of the rock is full of green algae and the same goes for some of the smaller rocks.
