    My brittle star is falling apart and won't eat I tried silversides and it just won't eat and it keeps losing pieces of its limbs any ideas what's wrong? All my other fish are acting fine, but he is dying.

    Hiya,

    Change in salinity is possible...or he could just be sick.

    Yeah I did add some freshwater to even out the salinity perhaps it made it sick

    Hiya,

    If the salinity changed to quickly, that could very well be the issue. Can't guarantee that it'll pull through unfortunately.

    Ecinoderms are terrible about rapid changes in salinity.
