I have had the same issue and then they tend to die. I didn't have a harlequin shrimp and never really have had luck with sand shifting starfish in the past.

no never purchased one i just recently got my blue hippo 6 inch for like a week and my ss started loosing one feet then cut in half...

doubt it's the tang, probably lack of food, they have a poor survival rate. Once they have wiped out your pod population, they usually don't last...

my sand sifting stars have lost a few of their limbs but they're still alive for now. I never could understand why they start losing their limbs.

One of mine decided to go near my mp40 and by the time I found him, one of his legs was cut off . I now have the foam guards for cases like that as well as to protect my nem in case it decides to go on the move lol

When I first got my sandsifting star, it lost one of its legs and I have no idea how it happened. Now a few years later, its all grown back.
