how long have you cycled your tank? this species of star fish is very difficult to keep. they can't tolerate poor water condition.

both the anemones look very bleached, not advisable to put anemones in new setup bro, especially with the skimmer i see in the pic at the top left..

marine setup is very different from freshwater setup..

ur starfish looks like it has started rotting..

should slowly cycle ur tank, read up more, abt the benefits of live rocks and a sump tank and a good skimmer, den ur livestocks will thrive..

few things are important for fishes, cycled tank, good skimmer, zero ammonia and nitrite readings, and stable pH..

for corals, u'll need good lightings, maybe u can state ur equipments here such that we can help u out..

cheers

yeap, dun stock up just yet, do some research.. on the members tank, see how other ppl set up..

a sump tank is very good and live rocks help alot.. something i learnt from all the bros here.. but of course, to each his own, lots of successful reefers here with different opinions and sump designs.. its up to u..

cheers,

happy reefing

if you ever face necrosis on starfish, layman terms means rotting, take it out, use reef strenght iodine and drip on to it till it get better. or use cotton wool with the iodine soak in it and wipe the whitish area.

it might stop, atleast it helps for me. it took me 2 drips on 2 seperate days to save it.

and change to better lights, skimmer and filtration if you ever want to keep anemone healthy.

and a warm welcome to this forum.

happy reefing mate.
