Did my octopus eat sally lite crabs?

[dd7070]

Anybody got an answer that octopus ate crabs or any fishes?

I have an anonymous middle size green octopus and damsel fishes, clown fishes, two medium size yellow tang in my 100gallon tank. I need to know who ate crabs.

An octopus's diet consists of crustaceans. Probably would have been a good thing to recearch its diet. In the aquarium they will eat fish as well.

Thanks Alex.
You never be rude but kind.

I am novice for reef tank so many things need to know.
I just set my tank up two weeks ago.

Even I didn't know what it is until you made me known. Because I bought it on one late night from local guy. Actually it was free stuff because I was waiting him more than two hours at his house. I bought some corals and yellow tang from him. When he gave me this, he call this octopus. So I just trust him never doubt it. Since I put the green brittle star in my tank I barely seen this because he or she always hide himself beneath rock.
One day I saw his whole body and little doubting what his identity. Because he has no head like normal octopus.

Now I clearly know what is this because you made me known this.

Thanks again Alex.

Yeah green brittles and pretty mean when they get big. They will actually get up on their legs and form a trap for fish to swim into. so beware.
