Harlequin shrimp and pincushion urchin

[rw09903]

I currently have a pincushion urchin in a system with a lot of astrea stars. I want to add a harlequin shrimp but read that they might feast on urchins as well. Anyone have experience with the two co-existing?

They should only eat an urchin if they are starving and desperate. With starfish around, it should be no problem at all.

Good to know, thank you. I'll have to keep an eye on my astrea population and supplement feesing accordingly.
