mantis versus brittle star

[Fudo]

Has anyone kept a mantis with a brittle star? If so, what was the result?

The mantis broke of its arms.

Did it eat them or did the star just get in the way? How big was the star? How big was the tank? I'm playing with fire, aren't I?

No the mantis didn't eat them.The mantis hated the brittle star coming in its cave.So it whacked it.It was a large brittle star with an armspan of at least 8".The mantis was 4"The tank was 10 gallons.It will probably be a right if the star isn't to big and doesn't stick it head in the mantis shrimp's house.
