I bought a 4” coral hogfish 2 days ago. Took it on a flight from LAX to JFK, total travel time for him was probably 10 hours!

I first fed yesterday, he’s doing well and eating great.

In my display there is a red knobbed sea star, pencil urchin, and some turbo snails. Will I have any issues?

what else is in the tank? Is this your 240G tank?

Yes, other tank mates are:
20” epaulette shark
16” blue spot ray
12” hifin snapper
8” naso tang
5” polleni grouper
5” marine beta
 
I'm surprised it didn't shred your starfish my cuban hogfish loved starfish snails bristle worms and small hermit crabs. I assumed any hogfish would eat inverts.
