Default starfish question

ok, i just got a green serpent starfish, and man is he kool. Anyway i was reading some other forums and some ppl said they had issues with there pygmy angels nipping at them. Well I have a pygmy cherub and hes alrdy nippin at this thigns spines. Well the starfish is on the larger side. Do i have to worry abotu the starfish or the cherub gettign hurt by bothering it so much. Anyway i may be wrong.

John, Kerie and baby Aiden

Are you sure it's a searpeant?
I bought one, I lost a shrimp goby and then decided to RESEARCH, turns out it's nickname is "green death", he eats gobies, manderins etc.
Needless to say he back at my lfs
Just my experience

My other searpeant all you see are pieces of his tenticles, their night scavengers, The green come out and are very bold, I lost my gobie, I also lost fish to a coral banded shrimp once he got large, mean sucker he was too.

I would take him back to the lfs, he is a predator, and will eat your inverts, and some of your fish.
