I have a green brittle star, this morning I when I check the tank he was missing all of his legs. I think obviously that something in the tank ate them but I'm not sure. He is still alive and I have moved him to a separte tank. The other creatures in my tank are a Blue damsel, a three striped damsel, a clarkii clown, condy anemone, arrow crab, sand sifting star, various hermit crabs and turbo snails, royal gramma, mandarin and a blue velvet damsel. None of the fish are really that big except the velvet damsel, hes about 4"long. They all have been together in the tank for about a year then all of a sudden this happens in one night. Any ideas.

Not much you can do but wait and see. I don't see a starfish will be able to eat without any arms, though.
