Star fish changing arm?

[uluaking]

Hi all,

Was wondering if star fish will automatically changes its arm periodically? One of my star fish starred to drop its arm on 2 occassion.... what is the possible cause of such if it is normal. Looking for advice from Sifu here...

One of the arms of my sand star melted away. But it seems to be doing fine.. will the lost arm grow back?

Possible, Most invert able to regenerate new arm/leg during molting, depends tank condition or Star Fish condition.
