you have a reef tank listed as your only tank, so i'll assume you've got various corals in there...they're known to eat corals, so i would not suggest one

or take it out right now and throw it in your yard, it could go crazy at any time and start mowing down your corals. I know this from experience. When i was a noob the LFS hooked me up with one for my reef tank.

I know they also sold me some sort of snail with a snout that had a poison dart in it and it was taking out my other snails left and right. I know I knew things were bad with the starfish when I was watching it and it was moving normal and it went straight over my Xenia without slowing down and nothing was left after it passed.

I think buying a Harlequin shrimp would make things worse with the misses. Sure get a shrimp that is going to slowly eat the starfish she got him.

Or tell her the truth. It's not her fault that she didn't know it would act like a cop in a dougnut shop.
