“Brittle Stars” Unlike typical sea stars, brittle stars have a small central disc that houses their organs, and five long, slender, flexible arms that are clearly set off from the disc. Their arms are fragile they can easily break off if threatened, but the brittle star can often regenerate them. Their “mouth” is on the underside of the central disc. They lack an anus. They eat detritus, plankton, small organisms are ingested, digested in the stomach, and waste is expelled through the mouth. Ma

The arms are home to bundles of nerves that allow the brittle star to coordinate complex movements, without a central processing center. Brittle stars h

Brittle stars are some really amazing critters with all the grace of a newborn giraffe. The way their arms reach out from the depths and wrap around potential prey just to slowly bring it back into their hidey hole is really entrancing to observe. I can’t even count how many times I’ve been examining tidepools for critters just to see one long arm emerge from the depths and slowly wrap around food and pull it back into it’s hidden oral disc for consumption.

Brittle stars were one of the first animals in the ocean that truly captivated me, even before sea slugs. I first saw a brittle star in person when I was a child out tidepooling with my mom. Immediately I was entranced, I had seen plenty of starfish, crabs, fish, and pretty much every other large group of marine critter, but seeing a brittle star in person was truly a core memory. I was immediately interested in their long independently moving arms, their funny ways of lifting themselves over ro
