FT- 2 Brittle Stars and a Fox Face
 

I want to get a couple of shrimp for my tank however I believe these big brittle stars would view them as dinner. I also have a 6" foxface for trade. He does a great job eatting algae and hasn't touch any of my corals. I will trade for LPS or softie frags that I don't already have. Make me an offer.http://i859.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/IMG_1325.jpghttp://i859.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/IMG_1329.jpg http://i859.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/IMG_1346.jpg

I have 2 brittle stars and a Coral banded shrimp in the same tank, no issues. Acctually, never knew Brittles would eat shrimp??

The one looks red which i think is ok, its the green ones you have to worry about. I have seen first hand a green one try to eat a fire shrimp :lol:

The one on the right might be ok, the one on the left grabs krill and silversides with such gusto that I am pretty sure that it would make short work of a small shrimp if given the chance. As much as I like these stars I don't want to take a chance.

We feed our brittles shrimp, mysis. Their arms are reaching to grab it. They love it.
