StarFish eating Shrimp

Linckia star fish is quite common, so getting a food source for the harlequin shrimp is not a problem. They usually comes in a mated pair, so try not to buy singly. But my concern is that will fishes like wrasses attack them? They are rather expensive shrimps, if fishes were to kill them, it would be a great waste.

Unlikely if the harlequin found it first. It would be heavily guarded and very unlikely to cause damage.
