So I had a fish die recently and I've pretty much elementated everything else but I recently added a small 6-8" across black and white brittle star. So I was wondering if anyone who has had a brittle or serpant star kill a fish could chime in on if their star ate the whole fish, munched on the usual predator spots of belly and eyes, or just chewed off the fins?
 
We've kept some very large serpent and brittle stars and never experienced any problems. We did feed them once a week. I'd imagine a sick or dying fish could become easy prey though.
