Its called the Harlequin Shrimp.And yes it takes only starfish,no other food..
There are ppl who feed it those sand sifting stars and as a result they die,bcause their natural diet is those brightly coloured Linckias. So if u wanna keep one u have to ensure a steady supply of those linckias |

I saw them for sale before at Y934, look like some "flower". Very nice. No way to make them eat other stuffs like fish or shrimp meat?

As far as i know, harlequin shrimps feed exclusively on starfish. Their very specialized feeders as with a number of marine livestock that are sold in our local market.

Chocolate chip stars should be the cheapest star for them
