Sure it was a seahare eating your stars ? Mine never touched them and ive read many times that they only consume algae maybe it was a certain type you had anyway when algaes gone you either take em out and sell/trade it or feed it or it will die

Yup positive. Big ugly looking slug guy haha. They are known for eating star polyps if there's no algae for them to eat.
