Green Brittle Star w/ chomped legs

You may have caused a problem with the last water
change, yes the emerald crab could have done it,
what else do you have in your tank?. There could be
something else in your tank that could do it too.

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?

Feed the dam star fish and they would not have to resort to eating
their own body parts!

I've been feeding it a good size chunk of shrimp, silver side, or
anchovy once a week.

btw, I discovered that dried anchovies make great dog treats. :-)

Then my bet is that it was the Emerald crab with the
candle stick :-)

or the water change.
