I understand that Harlequin Shrimp feed only on Starfish. Do they just

They kill the starfish.

What a drag. Do they just sit on the starfish all day "sucking them dry", or
are the shrimp active around the tank? To be honest, I dont think I could
deal with the "star sacrifice". I know, I know, I`ll be "sacrificing" small
shrimps and smaller pods and plankton all the time.
