Invertebrate eaters?

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

Magnificent Foxface
Copperband Butterflyfish
Raccoon Butterflyfish
Teardrop Butterflyfish
Falcula Butterflyfish
Golden Semilarvatus Butterflyfish
Blue/Green Reef Chromis
Ocellaris Clownfish
Green Mandarin Goby
Spotted Mandarin Goby
Yellow Tang
Blue Hippo Tang
Six Line Wrasse
Longfin Fairy Wrasse

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?

Barely Legal Sea-Monkey(tm) Pr0n (prawn?), part 2!

They say Montel brings us together. Well it’s true, even for crustaceans, notably fairy shrimp. One morning Montel brought these two Artemia specimens obscenely close together. But little did they know they were being watched, indeed, recorded, every second of their lustful abandon being preserved for posterity by yours truly. Feel the voyeurish thrill of watching two VERY young (only about a month old!) fairy shrimp go at it like… well, like brine shrimp more or less, IN PUBLIC no less, surrounded by a crowd of their lasciviously leering peers. Don’t let the boy’s gigantic walrus-esque moustache fool you – he is still very much a pre-pre-preteen, as is his willing partner. Warning: Not for those easily offended by prawnography!

(hint – watch the center of the screen, or the lower right lens at 0:02, if you can’t tell which fairies are “doing it.”
