Harlequin & Pistol Shrimp

[truthdesigns]

Can these two live in a 60 cube together?
I have a massive break out of asternia star fish:0(
and I have heard that Harlequins eat them.
I have a pistol shrimp and watchman in the tank now.
Any advice would be nice!

My guess the will ok, but someone else might know better.

If you want to rid your tank of asterina stars using a halequin, it might need to be conditioned to hunt down asterinas by putting a bunch in with the shrimp into a floating net breeder or container w/ small holes.

They will ignore each other, the harlequins wont bother anything accept starfish. As for the asterina, they need no encouragement to eat them, they will begin hunting them as soon as they are hungry.
