None of mine have ever eaten any of my star polyps. The blue legs will crawl around in them, but never mess with them.

There will probably come a time when you wish they did, but I have never seen it. My hermits like to forage in and around many of my corals, but I've never seen any evidence that they've taken a bite. They seem to do it mostly at night, when the corals are closed.
