True, although mine has also sank it's 'teeth' right into quite healthy
ones as well. I wouldn't exactly call a 15 year old 20" (from armtip to
armtip) green brittle star typical of the type of cleaning crew that most
want to keep in their reef tanks. Which is why I don't keep it in the main
tank anymore. But that's just my own experience talking.

Yes, I have heard reports about the green ones being "bad guys".
Too large for an average aquarium.
