    Ok, so harlequin shrimp will eat them. Will anything else have them for lunch? I'm asking so if they begin to be a problem and I remove them as best I can, what can I put in to get the ones I missed?

    Harlequin wouldnt be a good choice unless you plan on buying starfish all the time for them to eat cause thats about all they eat.

    There is several fish that will eat them, but they will also eat shrimp and snails and other inverts that you dont want them to.

    Good or Bad, they can become a real mess in the tank...start out with one or two...next they will be all over tank.:(

    Have come to learn to live with mine...net them out when on glass, hopefully the Harlequins will use the rest as appetizers.
