sounds like it is dieing. THere is not much you can really do with them. Pull out the star and give it the sniff test. If it stinks toss it if it smells like ocean leave it for now.

I was told that when you take it out of the water, i messes up the pressure in their vascular system, which was potentially the cause for what happened to it anyways.

and by the way congrats on your 1000th post tendar /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yeah 1000 and counting. Need to kick some moderator butt and get some others posting.
