harlequin tusk reefsafe????

[secrest]

I know the harlequin tusk will eat crabs and snails, but what abot the other stuff. Mainly will it eat shrimp, corals, anenomes, or starfish??? i would really like to keep one but not at the expense of my tank

They'll eat shrimps but all corals and anemones are safe. Echinoderms like starfish and urchins are sometimes but rarely eaten.

If you get a juvenile, it'll probably leave shrimp alone, at least until it gets bigger. I had a 12" australian adult that tried to eat anything that moved (crustacean-wise), but later had a 3" juvenile that would actually go to the cleaner shrimp to get cleaned.
