Whoa! That's one big starfish! That's not by any chance one of those "green death stars," is it? Ever noticed small fish going missing?

As far as I know, it just a plain old black brittle star. I don't know about fish, but he eats flake and pellet food. He always wins the fight with the snails over food.

I had a black spiny like the one pictured for a couple of years, and he was a model citizen. It was cool to see the arms come poking up out of his rock at feeding time. However, when I traded in the rock b/c of an over-abundance of palys, the brittle star went with it.
