Harlequin Shrimp & Sand Sifters

[TiberianSun]

We've got a bunch of aster starfish in our cube tank and am considering 2 Harlequin shrimp to help remove them. In the tank we also have two Sand Sifter Star Fish. Will the Harlequin go after the Sand Sifters? The Sifters are 3 to 4" diameter

my harlequins havent touched my serpent starfish, just for reference of what you might be able to keep instead.

also, consider just getting a single harlequin. i put two in my tank (450g) that had thousands on thousands of asterina starfish. the harlequins ate them all within 2 months; they eat them extremely fast! i had to feed two harlequins after that... one died but i still have one that i have to feed.
