New discovery (for me): Peppermint shrimp eat brittle starfish

[Runner]

I have been finding quite a few tiny brittle starfish in my tank this past week and decided to bring some to my 10G at work. The clowns worried one a little when I first dropped it into the tank, but didn't hurt it. It took about 15 seconds for my peppermint shrimp to grab one and crawl under an overhand and start chowing down. He ate with such gusto that I suspect that either I am not feeding that guy enough or that these are his favorite treat.

crazy! I have always said that the inhabitants of our tanks will eat whatever they can get their mouthes around.
