Serpent Star attacking Feather Duster

keman · 06/10/2006, 09:37 PM

I recently added a large feather duster to my 90 gallon tank. Within minutes, one of the sea stars had wrapped itself around the feather duster and seemed to be trying to mate, fight, or eat it.

I moved the feather duster to a different area of the tank and the serpent seems to be leaving it alone.

Any comments / suggestions?
