I have a brown serpant star. A couple months ago I lost a peppermint shrimp that I caught him munching on. I wrote if off that the shrimp died and he was just cleaning up....
but I still was always curious...
Last week I was trying to introduce a new clownfish and my older one was chasing him around like crazy and he went down to the bottom in the corner under a rock to rest and I saw the arms come out and try to grab him. I had dismissed it as him being curious because I have had so many people tell me they are not agressive like that.
Well after a few days in a breeding net I let him back out to see how the acclimation between the two were going. For a couple of hours they seemed fine so I went to my son's ballgame which lasted 1-1.5 hours. I get back and my new clown is dead and my star is trying to eat him. I did not see any bite marks or damage from the other clown but again I am not sure what really happened...
For insurance I have tossed the star in my smaller tank.
