ID whats eating my Zoa's? Pic inside need the pro's

Well i tried searching but wasnt able to because of the traffic on the site at the time. Nothing much comming up on google.

I picked up another shippment because I lost nearly all of my last one. All the colonies of zoa's are browning out and melting away. I have one rock already melting away and I cant figure this out.

THEN

I find these guy's below the melting zoa's. They look to be 5 leg starfish of some sort. They look to be piercing the zoa's because it takes some fore w/ a tweezer to get these guys off. Anyone out there ran into these before?

Thanks in advance.

I spent alot of cash this weekend and walked downstairs to these earlyer. I really think they are the pricks that are killing everything.

It is recommended to not take chances and pull them out of your system if you have them at this time.)
