Asterina star fish. Harlequin shrimp?

[RiddleEagle18]

I have an infestation of asterina stars. Recently it has become so bad the stars are irritating the zoas to the point of closer. Possibly consuming them but I doubt it. Either way they are causing harm to the coral and need to go.

Has anyone possibly had the same issue? Did you buy a harlequin shrimp you now need to get rid of since the job is done? I have a tank full of stars for him.

If you catch him let me know! I hate to buy a shrimp to solve a problem only to end up having to feed him the same problem.

We must have posted at the exact time. This is the situation I'm trying to avoid.
