Hello Hate hearing about a corals demise unfortunatly it happens. I had a brain coral that I bought pretty much was given to me because it only had around 20% that was alive. I moved it to the top of the rocks to see if my lighting was good enough to keep it alive it was actually doin alright but the fish would keep knocking it off and finally it died. I left it in the tank because that is the natural cycle of life on the reef the new corals build on the old skeletons I was rewarded because underneath of it is a white sponge that is growing and doing quite well. The others I knocked off usualy had something growing on them like feather worms so I just left them in the tank. but then agian with a 125 gallon tank it allot to fill up so I can use all the rocks I can get over time they will all build into live rock. I do suppliment the tank with kalkwater top offs and daily I use Kent Marine essentials and CoralVite along with Iodine and strontium at full recomended doses I also use the kent liqiud calcium at a small dose. That coraline algea really grows like wild on the shells I put in for the hermit crabs so I found a supply of bleached corals and I have been using them in the tank and it doesn't take long for the coraline algea to grow. I also have used it to attach trimings from my leather coral which has overgrown it's attachment. I don't have any sea stars in my tank but sounds like they reproduce fairly good hope they all survive for you. sending you a vote.
