Green Brittle Star
 

Have a couple of these giant green brittle stars...what do you think?

You mean like mine? They get big and will catch and eat any small fish you keep with them. Looking at your list, I think that would be most of them.

(brittle star is in the bottom of an IO bucket for size reference)

wow. That's massive.

Huge! What fishes did you lose to that monster?

I never kept any small fish with it when it was in my display tank so I didn't have any problems. Now it lives in my sump so that I don't have to worry about what it could potentially catch. However I still have a 2' snowflake eel so I still don't keep anything under 3".

I think they are about as nice looking as a bristleworm (gross!). Having said that, I know some people think bristleworms are cool.

Get a nice, pretty Linckia instead! haha

Linckia are a pretty poor choice as their true diet is unknown and they generally starve to death in home aquarium. A smaller variety of brittle star might be a better idea.
