Harlequin Shrimp will take care of them

 

[Sapooloo]

depedning on the size of the tank the harlequin might exhaust the food supply and then your stuck buying starfish to feed it.

 

[The Ng Thing]

This is why we need a BRS harlequin Shrimp!

They dont usually eat adult brittle starfish. Most people say dont feed them brittle stars for a variety of reasons but mostly it seems that the brittle starfish are to fast so the harlequin tend to ignore them.
