I have a lot of Asterina Stars in my tank and decided to get a bonded pair of Harlequin Shrimp to get rid of them. I was a bit skeptical but this video shows how good of a job they really do. They've been in the tank less than a week and are decimating the population. As soon as they get it under control I'll move them to my other tank. The shrimp grabs one and starts eating it as it backs away and then grabs another in the second video when it get by the bubble tip anemone. Now it has one it is eating and one it is holding to eat.
