I had lost one sea star a few months ago (I found it buried in the sand bed, falling apart). This is my largest star, and today I noticed this white goo coming from one his arms. I'm assuming this is a bad sign, but I wanted to ask the experts if there was anything I could do to help it.
I still have a brittle star and sand star that seem to be doing well, so I don't know why the orange stars aren't doing well also.
Side Note, my tank is a 150 gallon reef, all softies and LPS. I keep it at 78°, all the other parameters are standard and stable. The only issue I've had is that my wifi went out about 3 weeks so and my tank heater didn't turn off (since they're controlled by Hydros wifi strip) so they didn't turn off until I manually restarted the Hydros and it connected to Wifi. It got up 85°, but I didn't lose anything that week...
