Sea Star infestation

My 125 tank is infested with the small sea stars. I've removed more than one hundred in the last two weeks and I'm certain there are as many still in the tank. They are consuming the corraline algae on my LR to the point that some of the rock is pure white.
I'm thinking of using Harlequin shrimp but I will first have to remove my Flame Hawkfish or the shrimp won't last two minutes in the tank. Does anyone have any other solutions and how long will it take for two shrimp to bring the starfish under control?
Thanks
