Good morning all! I have a large green brittle star that up until yesterday was a model citizen (innocent until proven guilty that is). Well tuesday night he ate one of my new threadfin anthia's. I am sure of this, as his body was at least twice the normal size, and the anthia's were all accounted for and eating before I went to bed. Too bad he didn't choak on it. So anyone want him?

The star fish is a Surpant Star it would most likely to eat just about anything and i have heard that they would also eat fish as well

TheCoralReef731, in good conscience I could not give him to you...those clowns would make a nice snack for this beast.....

umm...the fish probably just died then the thing ate it body....i think thats more likely then the star fish violently attacking and eating the fish

 

[Pufferpunk]

They catch fish while they're sleeping. Big fish too!

 

[jasutton]

that is the EXACT reason why got rid of mine...i also heard that NOTHING will eat them. Not triggers, puffers, nothing...

rogerwells, the fish did not die, that I am sure of. These are predatory, it is documented

Yeah, I had one too. I couldn't figure out why my fish were disappearing. I figured it was my pistol shrimp, so I, regrettably, sold him. Then a clownfish disappears and I notice my brittle star is humongus. :mad2: Read on here that brittle stars can be a little nasty.
So I got rid of him and haven't lost a fish yet. Except for the one that jumped out.

I miss the pistol shrimp, he dug a home under my live rock and used shells to make a wall.

I watched one rip apart a 5 " long feather duster.

Mine ate quite a few really nice, healthy fish, so anyone that takes him be careful!

I think I'm just gonna plump him up with nice expensive fishies then see if I can have a battle royale with Doug Lehman's mantis eating trigger, Bubba. What do ya say Doug? We can charge admission, take bets etc etc....
