Predatory stars with anemones?

[Fishfreak2009]

So I am working on a stocklist for a 65 gallon tank that will house some corallivore (SPS and LPS predator fish). I plan on housing a LTA or a sebae (H. crispa) anemone in the tank hosting some brown saddleback clowns.

I'm considering keeping a predatory star in this system, as I've kept them in the past and they are much hardier than the Linckia and Fromia species, I just haven't kept them with anemones. My previous specimens loved hunting my mexican turbos and astraea snails, but never bothered my longspine urchin, decorator crab, coral banded shrimp, or each other.

Has anyone kept Protoreaster lincki (Red General Star) or any of the Pentaceraster species with either of those anemone species?

I have not, but it sounds intriguing...

I haven’t don’t it personally but surely if the anemone sting is potent enough the Star will avoid it? And if I remember correctly Sebae and Long Tip Anemones have rather nasty stings for inverts and fish.

I am currently keeping two spined sea stars (Astropecten duplicatus). They hunt on my snails, but don’t bother any of my anemones or corals.
