I am perplexed that after seeing all my 5 fish eat frozen brine, I came back to my aquarium 1 hour later to see my goby is upside down next to my green banded goby.

All other 4 fish are doing fine.

The only thing I added were two tiny brittle stars that came in with my new live rock for my other system.

The tiger goby ran up to the brittle star and bite him and spit him out.

Could that have caused something?

My fish have been in my 12 gallon tank for 2-3 months now.

Here are the pics of him.
