Yes it can. Green Brittle Stars are known for their exceptional hunting skills.

I had one and lost a few fish, I noticed the star was really fat after a fish went missing. I traded him in for a rock later that day.

I use to have a Green Brittle Star too and had to get rid of it because it was eating my cleaner shrimps. It was started to get a little to expensive.

Yes! They will eat any fish that they can catch!
I lost an $80 blue spotted jawfish to one.

ps I see that you asked the same question on the Reef Discussio board. The moderators really don't like us doing that.

Yep - lots of stories of them eating fish (and even a freaky photo of a fish-shaped blob in the disk of a star).
I would trade him and get a different star.
