I can't imagine a Tang getting eaten by a starfish?

It was a small yellow tang - and I actually caught the starfish curled up with the body of the tang. I just assumed it had died during the night and the starfish was doing its job - cleaning up.

I've never heard of a serpent star catching and eating fish.But the big green brittle stars are known as green death because they are expert hunters of fish.

I thought that they were serpent stars. They do not have the hairy legs like brittle stars have. My big one is huge, over a foot long. When I drop clam meat in the tank he flies out from under his rocks and across the tank. It is amazing to watch. However, I think he is my silent killer. If not, I still can not explain where my fish are disapearing to.......

He very well could be the killer.I just never heard of serpents doing that.

I guess that I was too quick to convict him - my purple tile fish came out of hiding tonight :) I was glad to see him. My LFS said that they would take the starfish back for a trade. Should I get rid of him or keep him?
