Ya, I would be, that is a good sign it is aggressive and will probably eat your cleaner shrimp within the week. To me, that is way to big for a brittle star in a tank that size, but that's just me.. obviously it can be done because my neighbors tank is only 75G. Just keep an eye on it for now.. usually they only go after food and dead things like crabs/snails. If it is as big as you say, I would feed it at least 1/2 a cube of food a week so it doesn't go looking for food. If you put a piece of frozen food in your hand near it, the star will crawl right onto your hand and eat it. It is actually really cool and not as scary as it sounds. They don't bite.
 
Im worried now , the star went into the goby bunker ,im so stressed out .
Do you feed it still frozen or do you wait to thaw it out ,hard to keep in hand thawed
 
them darn things are hard to cut too .......i have dropped 3 on the floor lol i woke my daughter up ,pannicky for the goby's lol

ill make hubby do the feeding thing too creepy for me
 
Just give it a whole cube then.. lol. It will eat it. Just wont have to feed it for at least a week. Do you have a grabby stick thing you can hold the cube in to feed it?
 
lol thanks for the tip on the grabby thing after the fact lol .
its ok i had a reason to yell at hubby lol
goby's diednt come out ?
it melted b4 the star could get it lol

my frogspawn lost another head so i was thinking something is bothering it .
I watched the tank tonight and noticed red bristle worms(?)eating holes in the stalk ?
after we arrange the rock and change the skimmer ,im gonna make a trap with a bottle and try and get them ,i will try not to feed the tank for 1 day b4 i do this .
does that sound like a good plan?
 
I am frustrated today ,I HATE MY SKIMMER ,it makes too much noise and the water always looks dirty,and the pump has no shut off switch and has burnt all the plugs on my powerbar from either shutting off the powerbar or pulling the plug .
then i tried to hook up the berlin the pump i have wont fit without attachments grrrr .
Then to top it off my return pump was vibrating against the glass and when i went to adjust guess what .................yup water pumping all over me the floor and the carpet
Today just isnt my day !!!!!!
why do they make so much noise ?
