Default Star fish ate my anenome

Doh! I just joined to see if I can get advice on why my anemonies are
being eaten or otherwise disappearing. When I started work, It seemed
that the starfish were looking a my bubble anemone. I read this thread
and ran upstairs and there's not much left of it.

So, first Thanks!

Can i get some advice? I have 3 star fish.

* First is a sort of serpent starfish which I don't really like, but it
came with the tank.

* Second, is a Chocolate chip which needs a new home. Apparently, not
safe.

* Third, is a starfish similar to the Chocolate chip, but it a dark
green color. I assume it's not safe.

Yes, I got a Chocolate Chip star and bubble-tip anemone from a guy that
had them together (both free, so bonus). It ate the tentacles off the
anemone. It has taken a long time, but the bubble-tip is finally
starting to grow its tentacles back, even though it shrank in size and
looked in a very bad way for a while. Oddly, the place it chose to sit
and stay was hiding under my HOB filter on the glass toward the top and
out of the light. The star is in a separate tank altogether with no
corals or anything that it can damage/eat.

I caught my chocolate chip star on my anemone (sebae) chomping on
him. The anemone died and I let him finish the job.

Ever heard of this? I think the next time I get a anemone I am
returning the star fish.
