Longnose Butterfly Question

I really want a Yellow Longnose Butterfly to introduce into my tank, however I have live rock with all kinds of organisms growing on it. I've done quite a bit of research and am coming up with 50/50 that he will or will not bother things on my live rock. I have lots of tiny featherdusters, no more than 1 inch long, about 18 very small brittle starfish, about 1- 1 1/2 inch diameter and am now growing a few aptasia anemones, that I want to get rid of and hopefully he would help take care of that for me. My question is I'm afraid he might eat my starfish, yes or no!? And will he properly dispose of my aptasia for me?

Most likely will eat the feather dusters and probly the the brittlestars if it can fit them in its mouth. My Copperband BF would eat those tiny white micro brittlestars that are in live sand. My CBBF did not eat aptasia but many will so just depends on the individual.
