not dead...starfish can regenerate, they will grow back missing legs. I have seen many starfish stay near the top of tanks, esp choc ship stars. The only way to tell if they are dead is to flip them over. They will "right" themselves, or if they are just rotting away sitting on the bottom of the tank.
