Starfish legs about to fall off

[snuff]

There's really nothing in the tank that could have caused this injury. In the tank is:
1-Mandarin Dragonet
1-Butterfly fish
1-Angle fish
2- Clowns
1-Urchin
1-Cleaner Shrimp
Some Hermit Crabs

There was a purple tip anemone, but about a week ago I found the Starfish eating on top eating it. I knocked him off of it and removed the anemone. I didn't really pay close attention to the Starfish after that, but last night I noticed his legs. But he seems to be moving about the tank fine, just drags the 2 legs behind. What should I do? Remove him from the tank? Will he grow new legs? And my girlfriends question"¦ is he going to die?

My girlfriend is freaking out, she just bought a 75 gal and we are in the process of setting that up. So this happens and now she thinks her whole world is crashing down around her.

I don't believe he will do. Everything I have seen starfish can grow new legs. It looks like the anemone stung him to tell the truth. Keep in eye on him just to be sure. I have read a couple of places that if you cut there leg off it can grow into a totally new starfish. I am not sure how true that is.
