Sick Sea Star- help
 
My red Linkia is swallon up twice it original size- It has also folded up. Is it possible that it got stung by a coral- or a bta? I have never seen this before and my water is fine.

Is the entire starfish swollen, or just a portion of an arm? There is a parasitic mollusk that affects linkia stars causing swelling of individual arm sections - could be what you have. Need pics.

the whole starfish is swollen- but know hes back to normal and moving around the tank. This is very interesting I thought it was dead- guess not.
