I have never had a peppermint shrimp that ate an entire Pocillipora. As for a fish that eats inverts, you can either remove the inverts or remove the fish.

My peppermint likes to rip my hammer coral apart. I try to feed an extra few pellets to make sure he's getting enough to eat, and it seems to be working.
I just don't have the heart to take him out of the tank, although I know I should.
