How can I tell if my "choc. chip" starfish is dead in my saltwater aquarium?

Question:Where are his eyes? Granted, one of my humbugs tried to bite off a tenticle, however, he was not successful in his attempt to attack. "Patrick" (starfish's name") held his own. Patrick looks fine, but the way I understand it, if he dies, he'll look just fine petrified as well. Should Patrick be moving alot?

Answers:
Well, there starfish they really dont move alot. But like about once-twice a day they should change areas. Patrick awsome name (spongebob)
If you think he is dead get a stick or your finger (make sure its clean) and kinda poke him, not like hard just gentally. If he dosnt budge he is most likely dead. Hope it helps! GOOD LUCK!~~~!


Every time I have seen one dead, they waste away, looks like acid got poured on them. Starfish do not have eyes.
when fish die they float to the surface so if it isnt floating on the surface it is not dead
