It looks like you need a harlequin shrimp to fix the problem

Was the polyp open prior to that?? Curious as I have only seen them attack my dying polyps nothing that's perky and happy..:

Yikes! I bet the polyp never saw that coming.

they eat zoas, btw, the blue ones do, but I've seen a grey one give my zoas some problems too

It found true love.

From what I have researched, there are several different asterinas. Some eat corals, some eat dying corals, and some do nothing but multiply. I have no clue how to tell which is which,haha.

This is very true, from what I have seen in my tanks, the ones that just multiply seem to have less color then this one, and a whole bunch of arms.
