I have two sentient tentacles in my tank (whole legs from my brittle stars with large pieces of central disk attached - curious to see if they spawn new brittle stars... but anyway) and I was wondering if any of the following fish (list below) would be prone to ripping my dudes in half. And they're not small brittle stars either - most are 8+ inches with 1+ inch central discs... I've had lost leg bits before, but never whole limbs being ripped off like this.
I'm also wondering if the brittle star could somehow be doing it itself for some reason? I know both tentacles came from the same dude (saw one missing and one star with 4 legs, found another this morning and a star with 3 legs.
Fish list:
Picasso clowns (~2")
lubbock's wrasse (~2.5")
mckoskers wrasse (~2.5")
green canary blenny (~2.5")
engineer goby (x2; 4")
skunk shrimp (2.5")
red brittle star (x4; all large; +2 if the tentacles grow...)
I've had all the brittles for like 2 years and they've never had issues like this before, but I recently upgraded my system and got some new fish (all new except clowns) and they're all supposed to be peaceful, but I was wondering if any would be likely to terrorize my stars.
Thanks!
I also have a video of one of the tentacles. if people are interested I can dig it up
