Dying Brittle Star?

0

Bob, I have a green serpent star and have had him for about 4 months now. He has been doing well up until this AM. I was feeding him small dead frozen fish from a local saltwater dealer. He would eat that no problem, then about 2-3 weeks ago he stopped eating them. I assumed the fish were no good (freezer burn?) and pitched them. I have been trying to feed him some freeze dried food to no avail. Today I noticed he has two holes on the top of his body. He still seems to be moving about normally but I can’t get him to eat. I recently did do a move of the 55 gallon aquarium that he is in along w/ four perculas, 1 Sailfin tang, and two green Chromis. At the current moment my salinity is a little low and in the process of raising it.
