Fay Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 They can eat fish, however i doubt it would eat a sixline That's what I think too but do they sneak up on them at night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBlog Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Yup, that's the one!! He gobbled a BIG damsel! In saying that, I had two of those in may tank for ages (much smaller than my mates though) that never ate any fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Well I can't take the chance of losing anymore beautiful fish I am going to kill it but it's going to take a while he hides in the rock work and I don't want to move any rock now it's taken a year to get the tank rock work looking just spot on.

trinity Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Sorry to hear your little wrasse is missing Fay I thought it was so cute the way it would greet you at the glass, I saw one in the LFS and was very tempted to buy :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Get a stocking and put some mussel in it. Let it hang in the tank. The brittle star will come out in a matter of seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Thanks for that reef Oh and Frog has thrown a fit because I am going to kill it :roll: If I can get it out without killing it will it be O.K. in my fuge or will eat all my pods?

Fay Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 So it can eat someone's fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I dont really think it is the brittle stars fault, it needs food to live. Second you it is not 100% gauranteed that it killed the six line . you would think a sixline would be way to quick. anemoes can also eat fish, maybe you need to remove them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 O.K. I will put him in the fuge then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Thanks for the tip reef you saved his life it worked a treat he is now in the fuge he was huge I don't know if it was him that took my fish but I will know from now on my Anemones are to well fed to catch fish sometimes they don't even want the food I give them.

Fay Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 I found my Mandarinfish :bounce: Blimmin thing hides But today my Cleaner wrasse went missing he is always out cleaning the big tang hunted high and low and behind the tank but no luck. That's both my wrasses within a week whats going on these are fish I have had for about two years. How long do fish live? cry cry cry I loved my wrasses they were both very cool fish. Big Tang is going to miss him too (hope his white spot doesn't come back he has been clean ever since they meet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Lucky you did not kill the brittle star as it looks like it was not him to blame for the sixline They say innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted August 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Lucky you did not kill the brittle star as it looks like it was not him to blame for the sixline I'm glad I put in in the fuge or he would be dead by tonight would have got the blame for sure.
