starfish

I set up a new 20 gallon tank today, just for fun. I added a small cleaner shrimp, cc star, HOB filter, light and sand. Will these two cohabitate long term? Will they have to be moved? thanks in advance!

Hi Guys, Wondering if anyone has any success in keeping this starfish? I have been wanting to get one (either Monilis or Millepora), but there has been a mixed reactions from reefers, on whether it will survive in the tank or better left in the sea. Appreciate any feedback thats for sure!

After 3 weeks in the tank, my live rock finally revealed a couple hitchhikers. They are starfish of some kind, look pretty close to asterina, but would like confirmation. I have spotted 2 so far, just wondering if I should go ahead and remove now. Sorry for picture quality
