Green Brittle Star w/ chomped legs

All 5 legs on my brittle star are broken off and he's now laying on the
bottom of the tank in a heap. I may have moved some rocks during a
recent water change, but all 5 legs? At roughly same length?

I added 6 emerald crabs, a lawnmower blenny, and 20 snails recently.
Could the emerald crabs to this?

Any ideas?

How long do you have this brittle star in the tank?

I was afraid of some acclimating probelms, but that is eliminating this.

How large are your emerald crabs? Do you feed them somehow?

Biggest was about 1.5 inch. I have plenty of algae I was hoping they
would take care of, and they've been eating voraciously. I haven't seen
them on the rocks at all. They've been on the plenum and reaching up
for algae. (I have another tank when they are done with this one.)

Not that I really mind a dead brittle star. He's getting to a dangerous
size and I still have an unexplained disappearance of two yellow tails.
It's just some unexplained drama.

NOt according to that dumbass Pszemols concept........there is a good
article on emerald crabs as well as brittle stars and problems, but
you need to go to Creative reefing to get them..No info on this site
unless you want to set and wait and maybe , just mayabe someone may
make a wild assed guess, but I certainly would not hold my breath on
it.

Tristan,

You've really surprised me. The problem with troll hunting is that you
need to drop down to the level of the troll to fight them. The results
are generally worse then just ignoring them in the first place.

Well thats your opinion Kurt and your entitled to it, however you do
what yo feel yu must and thats what I do as well....I am not afraid of
any ramifications that follow for what I do unlike some like Wayne and
Pszemol, who take the shudder and hope this crap goes away
stance.....**** Carol Gulley and the sock puppet she rode in on, and
the same to any of her supporters and enablers as
well............Carol Gulley is the problem here and in other groups
not me......Its spineless folks like most in this place that allows
trolls like Carol Gulley to run amook in their groups then jump ship
like a drowning rat would do.

You're the problem, not your victim. You're like the "Psycho" guy running
the Bate's Motel. You post, then reply to yourself with different nyms and
claim it's Carol, like they psycho thought it was his mother. Seek help for
your obsession with this person.
