Yes I mistakenly bought a green/serpent star for my first tank and it does very well at hunting. Amazingly fun to feed though.
My shrimp were terrible thieves as well but I plan to have one or maybe 2 again as I love them. I would mash some food onto my hand (cyclopeeze I think or maybe reef roids) and set my hand in the water. They'd climb aboard and go to town. Only downside was they were so well trained that I had to basically carry them around on me when I did and maintenance with my hands in the tank!

IMO, you should consider snails livestock and try not to overdo it. They depend on algae growth to survive, so you don't want them starving to death.
I have an Emerald Crab and an unidentified nocturnal hitchhiker crab in my 5.5, and while I haven't outright noticed any issues with them (and have seen the hitchhiker eating algae) the growth rate of my zoas isn't very good.
