I've been wanting to get a reef safe wrasse. I have a annoyingly huge population of asterina stars. They don't seem to be harming anything but they have stripped by back glass of coraline and are everywhere! I can't seem to find a fish store that sells a harlequin shrimp in the area and would rather have a wrasse anyway. I don't mind a few stars here and there but I need something to at least put a dent in the population. I would manually remove them but I'm an auto mechanic and try to keep my hands out of the tank as much as possible.
 
Well I would not have recommended getting a Harlequin anyways. It would quickly go through the Asterina population and then you would be having to buy starfish weekly for it. I am not sure which wrasse would eat them and not other members of your CUC though.
