S. Haddoni ate my serpent star? this possible?

[mjwz06]

My serpent star has been missing for about 4 days. I know all his usual hiding spots, so I'm surprised I can't find him. Water parameters are good, and he wasn't showing signs of stress - I doubt he died on his own.

I have a healthy S. Haddoni, about 10" diameter. Is it possible my serpent star was eaten?

Has anyone witnessed this in their own tank?

A haddoni will devour anything it touches whether it likes it or not.
Look out for the carcass nearby the haddoni in the next day(s)

S. haddoni is second only to T. rex.

Yes and it will continue to consume anything that comes it's way.

Hey now.


But, like others have said, they can/will eat anything that comes into contact with them.

When I broke down my old reef my Haddoni's foot was completely buried in the sand. Unbeknownst to me part of it had attached to a piece of large rock. When I pulled out the piece of LR the Haddoni went with it through the sand.

In one motion I had a Haddoni and an angry female Fire Clown flying through the air at my face. Proof they eat people too.

In the wild they will eat crabs, clams, starfish, snails, sea urchins (!), and shrimp...

If they can snag it, they can eat it.
