I see an urchin that seems to have lost it's spines in the background of that pic as well and the star is sitting on a dead coral skeleton. How old is this tank? We need specific parameters, but the visuals are not good at all.
And that is the answer. Tank is too young. Tell your friend to slow down and research prior and new purchases.

It's starving to death and wasting away. I had one once that did the same thing. Got to the point where it had no legs at all and was just a body. Won't ever get one again.
As said above it is starving and falling apart from stress. Will not make it. Stars and urchins should only go in well established larger tanks. I have 2 urchins and 1 sand star in my 150. They are about the only clean up crew I have, so plenty to eat. Had the urchins nearly 5 years and the star about 2.
You’ll be lucky to get a year out of starfish. The only ones that do well long term are brittle starfish.
