I've heard that pincushion and tuxedo urchins will starfish. Has anyone experienced that, or is it safe to keep both in the tank at the same time?

Never had an issue with my urchins bothering starfish, but I could never keep stars alive long term. They can be hard to keep. I have a tuxedo and a pincushion. They can be real bulldozers, but are great algae grazers.
