That Red Bali Starfish might be really hard to keep alive in a tank that size. I have one in my twenty gallon and I wonder if my 20 gallon is even big enough. How long have you had it? I hear if they are kept in a small tank they slowly starve to death
 
This star came as a hitch hiker and it does look like its starting to loose weight i had it for 6-5 months dont remember anymore
 
hey you are doing clean reefing there's not even a layer of detritus on the sandbed or in the top 1/16th of it as a slight brown tint. are you turning over that bed really well

I havent touched the sand bed in months and hardly do water changes, i sometimes see my hermits, snails and pistol shrimp moving the sand...i dont want to stir the samd bed since i think it will release some bad gas
