Green Brittle Stars????

[Glennw]

Green Brittle stars are supposed to be aggressive. I'm doing a 70g FOWL tank. I have a green brittle coming. What fish can go with it and which fish should I leave out? I am using the green brittle in an aggressive tank as I know they will clean up a lot of the food scraps that do not get eaten.

To be safe avoid benthic and slow fish. I had one set up traps that killed mandarin's, sifter gobi's and hawkfish. In another system it didn't kill a single live fish or invert.

I feed mine small bits of fish flesh every time I feed my eel. It has yet to bother it's tank-mates. One thing I will say is he is AWESOME!!! Very active even moves around during the day. Comes out almost as fast as the eel when food is put in the tank.

I had one for seven years, it must have been 8-10" in diameter, eventually. I don't remember mine killing fish, but I'd hesitate to keep it with anything slow moving. It was a very aggressive feeder.
