“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

Brittle stars are the more flexible cousins of sea stars. While sea stars move slowly across the seafloor on tiny feet, brittle stars whip their long arms around to swim, climb corals, and catch food drifting in the currents. When threatened, they can completely detach their arms to escape predators. Their arms are the "brains" of the operation. 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

Despite being called stars or starfish, theyre a different family of echinoderms entirely, differentiating themselves by containing all their internal organs in their central discs and using their arms purely for movement and obtaining food. These fascinating critters live in many different trophic levels of the ocean and are great hunters as well

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
