sure looks like one to me !! but could be wrong most of the ones ive seen are alot more green that that !! but read any green ones can/will be probs !! would be cool though to set a 20 galon up with mabe some mollies for it to catch :)
 
No it is not. The bad guys don't have stripes on there legs, they are emerald green with silver and black spikes.

Yep, looks like a harmless Serpent star to me - great detritus eaters/scavengers. Nice hitchhikers!
