Yeap...i was reading a lot and somebody suggest she's maybe hungry. What do u think about pods or food elements like zeocon or selcon?Its hungry and judging by your sand looks too clean.
They need a well established (6 month minimum sand bed). Sand sifting starfish prefer small organisms in the sand bed. You can try supplement feeds (shrimp/fish bits) etc but if indeed a very new take take it back.
The position its in is to trap fish btw. Fish goes through legs then they twist legs forming a cage in order to eat. Be honest ive never seen a sand sifter do that.
They eat copepods....Yeap...i was reading a lot and somebody suggest she's maybe hungry. What do u think about pods or food elements like zeocon or selcon?
It needs a well established tank. Copepods wont suffice alone. Even a well established tank can be cleaned by one of these in a very short time. They have big appetites.Yeap...i was reading a lot and somebody suggest she's maybe hungry. What do u think about pods or food elements like zeocon or selcon?
Hmmm... that’s interesting. I’ve never seen mine do that before
Here’s a link I found on the subject; appears like it may be starving. How old is your tank? Do you add copepods?
My starfish is acting really strange!
Hi. I am in the process of cycling. It has been quite the experience but I'm almost done and only two fish have died and they shouldn't have been in my tank anyway. Okay, to the point. My starfish is a generic brown sand sifting starfish. It has been moving all over the tank like normal but two...www.aquariacentral.com

Starfish are omnivores and will eat what they can. I had an urchin that ate bubble tip anemones. Why ? Because I didn’t have what it needed.Huh, interesting. I had to get rid of my sand sifting star, he wound up having an appetite for sps ... and of course the expensive ones. Lol. He ate 2 of my sps frags. Thought the first one was a fluke that he was just sitting on top of it and it died... I moved it back to the sand. Next day he enveloped another frag and killed that. So yup. Harlequin food

The sand sifter will likely starve. It’s awful you lfs sold it you without questions. However as keepers of the blue we need to also accept responsibility. Don’t buy without research.
