asterina eating wrasse/fish species

Hello, I am starting to notice a lot more asterina starfish in my take as of recent. My tank set up includes a mixed reef type tank with some "reef safe" predatory fish eg. Niger trigger, Volitan at present. I am looking for a species of wrasse or other type of fish for that matter that will decimate my asterina population.
ANY SUGGESTIONS? Anyone know if a Twin-spot maori wrasse or similar species that eats starfish?
Any help would be appreciated as I am tired of looking at all the white blotches of coraline that these guys are eating. Thanks for the help in advance guys/girls.
Oh yeah, My tank is 85 gallons so nothing too large!

I know that a harlequin shrimp will eradicate your stars in a matter of weeks. But they won't work with the above mentioned fish. As far as an actual fish that eats them...I don't know if there is one.
 
Anyone have any experince with tuskfish or twin spot maori's eating starfish?

Definite no to Harlequin shrimp. that would be a cosmopolitan dinner for the lionfish.
