Killer Starfish??? HELP PLEASE

[LoJack]

Alright, so I have this rock of Zoanthids that was doing so good ... and now is doing absolutely terrible ... they are dying off like mad, and its the only zoanthid rock being hit with whatever this problem is.

I inspected the rock very very carefully yesterday and found nothing ... but some of the polyps were still open. Today they were all closed and looking a million times worse ... so I took another look ... And I found this ... could he be the problem?

He's pretty small, about the size of a polyp ... could he be wreaking all this havoc?
