Can anyone identify these spots on my new fromia star fish? Just bought it 3 days ago and didnt have any if these. Any remedies?

Unfortunately one of the most difficult species to keep due to diet and when this start it is a death sentence. I’m sorry!
It does suck it wasnt cheap and especially to start this a couple days later. Im just worried about when i should take it out or let it suffer till the end if its going to be a slow death anyway.
 
at what point should i just take it out or just let it suffer till the end?
Just my opinion but once this start I would just it out. I’ve done this when my stars start to die. If it makes you feel any better they don’t feel pain like us.
