Brittle and Peppermint

[dann]

Okay, so i just bought a peppermint today and it was hiding by my brittle. It then cornered the peppermint with all its legs and went in for the kill. A couple seconds later and he would have been a goner. I thought they were omnivores. Has anyone had this experience or know what might be the deal with my brittle??
Thanks.

What color brittle? Green/olive?
Definitely not an isolated incident. Refresh yourself on the definition of 'omnivore' as well

Green death star. Get rid of it or you will have more problems than this.

Yeah, I've seen the "green death" for sale many times and it's usually a higher price than a brown brittle star.
The brown brittle stars are absolutely wonderful to have in a tank... serpent stars as well...
I've had a green brittle that didn't bother anything, but I fed him daily.
