Default brittle starfish has no legs!

Well my yellow brittle star was savagely attack by my checker board wrasse. He now has no legs ( just little stubs) he has one leg that is a little longer than the others and can move still. I put him into a floating beta box for now. Is there any hope? he was almost finished growing his legs back after he somehow crawled into a sieo powerhead. What should i do?

throw him under a rock and squirt some food down there for him once and awhile and he should regrow his legs fine.

the only problem is the wrasse is still in the tank and will probaly finish him off if i put him back. A few days back thw wrasse took a little off one leg, so I fed the wrasse to the gills, but a few days later this happens, so i know for sure the wrasse will kill him if i put him back.

maybe the sump with a piece of live rock for him. or build him a little house out of a upside down strawberry basket.
