octo tank question

Hello all, i am starting a species tank (40g cube) for an octopus, and want to know if it will be ok to keep soft corals (specifically sarcophyton and sinularia) and possibly a few ricordia and zoanthids with an octo.

Also, are there any invertebrates (specifically shrimp, starfish, urchin, crab) or fish than can be kept (alive) with an octo, in a small system such as this? Thanks

Starfish sometimes make it and urchins are probably a hazard to the octo
everything else is lunch

I honestly wouldn't try any invert. But the corals, on the other hand, can be kept with the octo. The corals really add something to the tank too.
