I think you should go with an anemone clown pair. RBTA and maroon gold band. Can also do a pistol with a watchman.

That is one of the most interesting symbiotic relationships you could ever watch so if that's your preferred choice, go for it.

As for harlequin shrimp, unless you plan on being away for a month or more, you shouldn't have to worry about the shrimp starving to death when you're gone. Just be sure to give the shimp a large enouugh starfish to keep them fed while you're gone. I only have to feed mine about once a month as one choc. chip starfish lasts them 2-3 weeks.

Hey amcarrig, how long do you leave the star for the shrimp to feed? Wouldnt it start to decay and make the ammonia skyrocket?

That is the creepy thing about the harlequin. The star is alive thru most of it.
