star missing. need to find?

[mrtorts]

I have [or had] a red star about 5 inches across, that actively roamed
around the tank. Its been gone for a week now.

Do I need to tear the 34 gal. tank apart and find the star in case it
is dead and rotting, or just wait? I tested for ammonia to see if it
was rotting, and it was OK. Everything looks good in there.

Thanks.:rolleyes:

AFAIK, most starts like to bury themselves in the sand.

Do you have a DSB or crushed coral? Something else?

Do you have a clean up crew? (various crabs?)

My sand ranges from 0 to 3 inches. Yes, I have hermit crabs and snails.
