i found him as i was walking out of the water from a swim. the tide was very low and it was about 1 foot deep. i just noticed his shape more than
color against all of the round cobblestones and when i picked it up he had a passenger.

the little guy didn't like being out of the water. it was moving noticeably
but i didn't consider it was being eaten....

Good eye Woody!! I don't think the brittle star is being eaten. When brittle stars congregate, normally in the spring, they get on EVERYTHING. Here
they are on a red starfish and an anemone:
carpe diem!

another thought is that the brittle is just getting the leftovers??? cleaning up the crumbs??

Maybe the brittle star just climbed aboard for a free ride ? You should have asked them, Woody. 
Ken,
I sure miss seeing your wonderful underwater photos----you have not posted any for a while-----and it is so great to see a part of the world that many
of us never see!
