Harlequin Shrimp/Starfish Question?

[brannock_16]

Hello Everyone,

Well I have finally found a pair of Harlequin Shrimp locally and am currently drip acclimating them to my system. I know that they readily eat asterina starfish and chocolate chip starfish, but I wanted to know if they will go after my large Serpent Starfish?

I know they prefer the meatier stars, but will they turn on this easy prey? Should I remove the serpent star to the sump for the time being and find him a new home?

Thanks in advance,

Robert

it will not bother the serpent star. they are usually afraid of them.
