My 2 cents:

Both inhabitants that I personally would not recommend for an aquarium. Reasons:

The lobster can be aggressive. This is a breed of the red dwarf lobster which is known to be a scavenger and kill fish when they are sleeping. Although the purple/orange, or enoplometopus debelius, are more shy, if you get an aggressive one he may start attacking fish. Also these are more nocturnal so you may not get to see them do a whole lot.

Harlequins eat starfish and the tube feet of urchins. I think the price you are going to pay for his diet isn't really worth it plus you have to live with yourself killing about 1 starfish a week to feed them. :shake:
