Green Brittle star in 7 Gallon bow front?

[lubbockfishdude]

I am considering getting a green brittle star for my 7 gallon bow front. I currently havea perc clown, randalls gobie and yellow clown gobie. Those that have the green brittle stars, have you had any concern for smaller fish being eaten by the brittle? I also have green star polyps a small mushroom and brown buttons.

I have a pair of very small percs in my tank with a brittle and my guy at the lfs told me the brittle would be just fine and leave them alone.

I have a green brittle star and he has tripled in size. He is growing at a fast rate. So keep that in mind since you will have yours in a 7 gallon. Green Brittle Stars have been known to capture small slow moving fish so keep that in mind. They use an ambush type method. My caught and ate my Mandrin. HTH
