flame goby almost gets eaten by brittle

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 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 ;-)

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.

home Bill Bailey, won't you come home! I need a little bit of lovin!:
"Wayne Sallee" babbled on as usual with his head up his ass and hius hand on his dick, and no telling where his other hand is at and never uttered a word that meant a ****ing thing!

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

yea yea yea Wayne, we know we know all about it. Now you try to cover
your stupidity with a line of readily available bull**** to make it
look like your so ****ing smart.......whe we all know your among the
dumbest of dumbasses when it comes to giving pertinent advice!

I guess it needs repeating, This group sure has a a bunch of real
****ing dumb dumbasses!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
