All of them are compatible with respect to the Linkia starfish. NOw the damsel, well they can get mean, but so can a maroon clown and a yellow tang.

Yellow Tang could be mildly aggressive but shouldn't present any problems. The Maroon Clownfish is the most aggressive of all the clownfish species so it can hold its own. The Blue Damsel is an evil fish, as are all damsels -- you might want to think long and hard about this one. The Strawberry Dottyback is a very aggressive fish. The Orchid Dottyback is much less aggressive and a far better choice. Unless you have a very large tank you should consider limiting the number of shrimp to perhaps one pair. The Coral Banded Shrimp is very aggressive and will attempt to eat the other shrimp when they molt if it can catch them. Peppermint Shrimp can sometimes cause problems for corals. They are iffy. The Linckia sea star will not be bothered by any of the above.
