I wish I had some of these stars.

They are coralline consumers they eat coralline like crazy. So far some of my rocks and glass is clean off by them so I would say they would do damage to coralline and they reproduce very fast. So its up to you if like to keep your purple coralline or not cause they will bleach all your live rocks.

I have a peppermint shrimp I haven't seen him eatting any of them are you sure of that I haven't heard of them eatting them. But I'm thinking of getting a Harlequin Shrimp since they are the one who are known for that.

Seems unlikely they would "bleach" coralline. They MAY consume it (though in conversations with several people, and LFS this weekend, no one has ever heard of it).
If your coralline is bleached, you may want to check your calc-alk-pH and magnesium parameters to be sure they are all in line.
