Pick it up of it is limp he is done for.

Be ready with a bag, because the last dead star fish I pulled out had an odor that I can only compare to a punch in the face... I can still taste it to this day..

[rstar]

so from what i understand, rigid = alive?

[Patrick1]

pretty much if it stinks and is and is all mushy he's done

[FitoPharmer]

iv seen so many stars die, hes looks on his way out. does he look kind of bumpy in some places or has divits, theres not much you can do.

[rstar]

Yeah im failry sure he croaked, hasnt moved in over 24 hours, tips kinda disintegrating, covered in a mucousy slime.... shame he was nice looking.

[FitoPharmer]
