I have a cleaner shrimp and a blue linkia - both were added to my tank about 6 weeks ago. My tank has been up and running for about a year, reef & fish but only about 50 gallon and just fluro lighting, very basic. Within the first week, my cleaner shrimp attacked one leg of my starfish and made a mess of it but it healed really well without treatment and now they are perfectly happy together. I don't treat them specially and have had no signs of difficulty with my starfish.
Hell, go ahead and give it a try. They are both soooo great to watch.
