Harlequin Shrimp???

[lionfish]

Now my Lfs jsut got a new shipment of inverts in today and an odd little shrimp was watching me very closely. I looked at this odd little shrimp and decided I just had to have him. The store said this is the first time they have ever gotten one in and the price was $40. So what I want to know is if he is too expensive. Also will this guy eat my corals inverts or fish. Please if you have any information on these shrimp help me out.

They are beautiful but would not suggest you buy one. Everything I have ever read on them says they should be kept in pairs(male and female only) and their primary food is starfish. They will rarely eat anything else offered to them.
