flame goby almost gets eaten by brittle

[wolfdogg[_5_]]

my black brittle thats about 6 inches expanded was trying to wrap his
legs around the flame goby continually while the goby kept getting away
when he felt the tugging. but the goby kept coming back for more, and
wasnt even watching the brittle, like he was oblivious to this. Im
wondering how close this fish is to losing his life. its by far the most
powerful fish in the tank as judged by his lightning speed when it gets
a temper.

If it's a brittle, and not a serpent, then it's
probably not much risk, but brittle stars are quite
good at catching live brine shrimp to eat.

What are the characteristic features of a brittle star
to distinguish it from a serpent star?
I have one black star caught in Hawaii and I am
not sure if it is brittle or serpent.
It *is* brittle - it lost a leg when I cought it, but
it regrown it pretty quickly when in the tank.
It seems like it intentionally sacrifice the leg
in the efford to escape from me, the predator ;-)

Hi

It should be "bristle" and not "brittle". I hope I am correct. Just because
you broke one of its legs doesn't mean it is brittle star, it is still a
bristle star. :-)

I think you have confused sea star with a sea worm:

There really aught to be 3 classes of such similar
stars:
Brittle Star
Brittle Serpent (for lack of a better name)
Serpent Star

The green brittles often sold in pet stores, I would
put under the Brittle Serpent classification.

I would classify brittle stars as being full of
spikes on the legs, and having more spike volume
than leg volume.
I would classify brittle serpent as having a lot of
spikes on the legs, but not as great of a volume of
spike per volume of leg ratio.
I would classify serpent stars as having no spikes
on the legs.

If you are right than my beautiful brittle star
I got in Hawaii is true brittle star with a lot
of furry black spikes :-)

I wish it was in the open more often - but it is
pure nocturnal animal. I am able to lure it
with food during daylight but even then I see
only its furry legs and not a chance to see it
whole in the open - very light sensitive.

Furry and spiked things are great to stimulate the anus and clitty!

Then it sounds like your goby is safe.

The brittle stars often hide during the day, and
come out at night when the plankton is out.

Serpent stars are hunters, and are less shy.

What I have called Brittle Serpent, are like half
way in between in their attitude.

I would allocate breakable stars as getting abounding of spikes on the legs, and accepting added fasten volume than leg volume. I would allocate breakable serpent as accepting a lot of spikes on the legs, but not as abundant of a aggregate of spike per aggregate of leg ratio.
