I have two green, and one brown. I haven't seen them attack anything.... But when i feed them shrimp. They grab it well. So if a fish happens to get close enough to the arm and gets touched, yea there food. But the anenomies are the same way.... But we keep them....]]> Sun, 03 Apr 2005 16:18:09 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5645&PID=59906&title=prickly-pete#59906 <![CDATA[Prickly Pete : I had a green brittle star eat...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5645&PID=59846&title=prickly-pete#59846 Author: corbet

I had a green brittle star eat a purple firefish.

My recomendation is to go with the smooth serpent stars, they are very peaceful and eat leftover food. They are available in a variety of colors too.

Mine would prey on the dying fish. When I first introduced him to my old tank, as he was floating to the bottom he manuvered to the right about three feet and as he hit the bottom he started yanking a seafan out of it's 'shell'. I'm guessing the worm was sick also but it was interesting to see him as he hit the water to go for the food!]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2005 14:04:57 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5645&PID=56557&title=prickly-pete#56557 <![CDATA[Prickly Pete : I've seen these guys hunt...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5645&PID=56554&title=prickly-pete#56554 Author: pmpt

I've seen these guys hunt fish. But they got pretty aggressive. And then there belly would bulge after eating one.]]> Tue, 08 Mar 2005 13:50:38 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5645&PID=56554&title=prickly-pete#56554 <![CDATA[Prickly Pete : It would actually hunt fish ]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5645&PID=56552&title=prickly-pete#56552 Author: leviwin

Did he hunt live fish, or just eat the dead/dying ones...that is the question.

Turns out the LMB was just being shy. He went site unseen for 2 days, then I saw him peeking over my star polyps last night. Sorry for the false alarm.

I had one about that size that loved to eat fish. You could see a big bulge in the center after it ate fish. Hope that was helpful.

Now that youve lost 2 LMB's perhaps trying something like the more recently popular Sea Hare would be good for algae control. Both Aquatic Dreams and Fish-4-U have had them in stock.]]> Mon, 07 Mar 2005 20:02:55 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5645&PID=56461&title=prickly-pete#56461 <![CDATA[Prickly Pete : I have a prickly pete...so far...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5645&PID=56420&title=prickly-pete#56420 Author: Bob Kripfgans

I have a prickly pete...so far no causualties. He hides in the rocks and is cool to look at when he moves the sand up his arms to feed.]]> Mon, 07 Mar 2005 15:27:48 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5645&PID=56420&title=prickly-pete#56420 <![CDATA[Prickly Pete : Jake Pehrson wrote: If you...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5645&PID=56400&title=prickly-pete#56400 Author: Jamison

If you ask me that clown on the left hand side of the picture looks pretty guilty.

I wouldn't doubt that for a second. That little b@$!*^& was biting me constantly while I was re-aquascaping. He offed Nemo too. Property dispute over the BTA. Anyone want to buy a tank-raised clown? I just can't beleive I lost another Blenny. Why do these green brittles get such a bad rap?
