im pretty sure theres a good chance eventually the trigger or puffer will eat your shrimp and snails and crabs. I think starfish are safe. How big is your tank?

The trigger, Puffer and Eel will eat your inverts. Sorry. Even the Starfish that you have. I tried a CC Starfish and my DogFace Puffer killed him. With all those aggressive fish you will not be able to keep any inverts. JMO

I keep a couple stars and some hermit crabs in my predator tank, my peppermint shrimp hitchiker and all my snails got eaten. No inverts are truly safe, but if they're cheap you can experiment.
