Yellow star polyps started to disappear one by one

Just noticed that the colony is getting smaller just like my previous one. Any ideas? i have some hermit crabs, a shrimp and some snails. I wonder if something is eating them.

I've got 4 -65 watt PCs..2-whites & 2 -actinic

hmm, that should be plenty of light...and i doubt that anything is eating them unless the crabs are really starving then they may open them up for food...water quality?

Water quality is excellent. Every coral lloks good and they're getting bigger and healthier except for the yellow star. I've placed the colony at the bottom with less flow..
