knobbly sea star (dead or alive?)

[RyanCCY]

Hi everyone , I was given this starfish . Apparently I'm not sure if it was dried on shore or still have a chance of survival .
It has not moved nor eaten when I fed it brine shrimp .
However it's limbs are all still intact .
But I have not noticed it's tube feet yet .
Any sea star expert out there who could help me ? Thank you all so much .

It eats micro-organisms and scavenges on dead creatures. It prefers to eat clams and snails but also eats sponges, soft corals and other invertebrates. I suggest getting some shrimp or mussels from the store and try small pieces.

.... does it move if you poke it?

.... does it move if you poke it?

Why do you always poke everything? It that a ginger thing?

I already fed it shrimps . Nope it does not move :( i haven't seen it's tube feet so far .

My wager is that if there's no response when you touch it, it's probably a goner.


And shush, @Aquarian . It's a good tactic.
