Harlequin shrimps with Brittle Stars?

I always get mixed answers with this question -

Will Harlequin Shrimps go after Brittle Stars? From what I can understand, Harlequins will only target the tubular feet of starfish, which doesn't exist in brittle stars...but just to be safe - Any help would be apprecieated.

I had a harlequin for about 6 months and he lived in a cave about 6 inches from my brittle star and he never bothered him.

No, Harlequin Shrimp ONLY eat stafish from the Asteroid group.
