Will brittle stars grab/eat berghia nudibranchs?

[Vincerama2]

Hi!

I just bought some EXPENSIVE berghia nudibranchs to deal with my massive aptaisia problem. They live in a 30g QT tank at the moment. Actually, I think I only have one left, out of 4

Anyway, I was going to put an infested powerhead into the tank to feed the nudibranch(s) but I noticed small striped (dark/light) brittle star legs poking out of the powerhead's groves (actually a Seio powerhead)...

So ... would the brittle star grab and eat my nudibranch(s)??

You could clean up the powerhead faster with a vinegar bath. Don't put a running powerhead in the berghia tank. They'll invariably get sucked in and killed. Second, they are easy prey to lots of brittles and crabs.
