Do harlequin shrimp only eat starfish?

[keddre]

i never understood the attraction to harlequin shrimp until I saw isn't at my lfs today, but I want to know if they only eat starfish. While I have no problems with feeding chocolate chip stars, I don't want any of my dusters, scallops or my cucumber and sea slug coming under harm. Thanks

Yes.

 

[keddre]

Yes.

Cool, thanks. Now a follow up question, are they constant hiders like my pistol shrimp or will they be out often like peppermints?

They don't hide. They will hang out in the open.

My pair of harlequin are really cool. They have a little cave they hang out in and come out in the morning and evening. They are fun for me to have. So much I have foregone having the cool star fish in my tank to having them. I keep two chocolate chips in the same and feed them a leg ever few days.
