Hello all... So i have a star fish and its been doing good but now something it going on with it.... it started to look like its guts were coming from the top of it and it was small but now it seems to be getting worse.

Also what species of star fish is this?


thanks
 
Topping-off for evaporation (changing salinity) would cause this. If it was to sudden. i suggest dripping iit in slowly.
 
Is it still moving around, i had a similar thing happen to an old starfish of mine that died. Have you made any recent changes to your tank? What size tank do you have? I assume your tank is at least completely cycled...
 
Starfish generally don't do well unless they are placed in a large established tank. How long has your tank been running and what size is it? And to answer your question, that's a marbled fromia starfish
