I have several... they do fine unless you have brittle stars... then they may get munched.
I've seen mine stalk and eat bristle worms. freaked me out.

actually your brittle will be fine, in fact its the clown goby that will end up on the menu. I had your basic green brittle that grew to be @ 10" tip to tip. He became way too aggressive. He actively hunted by crabs (sally light foot and emerald) and he hunted any of my slow moving gobies.
When I bagged him to trade with an lfs he actually "puked" in the bag (I was told they do that sometimes but that he would be fine) and found out he had been eating young xenia polyps, limpets, chitons, and small botton polyps. Here I thought my polyps weren't propagating.
I now have two small yellow brittles that seem more timid for now.
I love brittles, they are a blast to watch... as long as they are well fed.
I still have 2 clown gobys... at least I think I do. They blend really easily.
Good luck.
