I have small starfish eating my Coraline

Is there anything I can do/get to eat them, I can't seem to get them all. I was thinking of getting a harlequim shrimp, but is there anything else I can do? Thanks,

Sounds like Asterinas to me. Do they look like this?

If so they are harmless to corals, usually, and are good scavengers and herbivores too. However, they do eat coraline algae, so if coraline is very important to you, just pull them out when you see them. If you have a refugium you could relocate them there. A harlequin will eat them all, but you have to then plan to feed it for the rest of its life, which could be a PITA. They will pretty much only eat starfish.
