Invertebrate eaters?

Will any of these fishes try eat a blood red fire shrimp, hermit crabs, star fish, or clams?

I know the butterflys will try to eat the corals so doing a reef tank will be out of the question. Really want to do a reef tank but can’t have the butterfly eating at my money through corals. Also are all these fishes compatible with each other…I’m planning on having at least a 200 gallon setup.
Are there any corals that I may be able to have in the tank despite the butterflys?

TRIOPS VS WORMS

*Adding &fmt=18 to the end of the video link might give btter quality*

A short video I made of my triops munching on some worms to the Rocky theme – Flying high.

The Triops in the video are longicaudatus. I have about 5 in a small tank 2 are about 1 and a half weeks old whilst the older 3 are about a month yet they don’t seem to be growing much bigger….

I actually saw two triops fighting over a worm but I was uploading the vids to my computer by then :*(

Ill try make more vids in future :D
