[peekabook91]

i bought a starfish at my fish store yesterday and i drip acclimated him for one hour and when i put him in the aquarium he moved a little then got on a rock and hasn't moved since yesterday im wondering if he is dead or not

He's probably not dead. They will do that sometimes. Is it a linkia? They really have a tendency to stay put. If youre really concerned you can always turn him over in your hand and watch for movement.
