Red knob starfish problem

Hello all, long time no talk. Anyhoo.. I was gifted a red knobed sea star a few weeks ago. Haven't kept a star fish before. It is now showing signs of trouble. It's like it's peeling it's skin, exposing its pinkish flesh. Is this a sign of a specific problem? The problem just presented today. Found a couple of small bristle worms taking advantage of the exposed area. I have nothing in the tank that I think would be attacking it. Thanks for any input.
