sea lilies and feather stars
The scientific name of brittle stars is Ophiuroidea. They are echinoderms closely related to sea stars, but have long, flexible arms that they use for movement and feeding.
No, not all starfish have the same amount of arms. Different species of starfish can have varying numbers of arms, ranging from five to over thirty arms. The number of arms a starfish has is determined by its species.
Asteroidea, or sea stars, have a radial symmetry with five or more arms extending from a central disc. They have a calcareous endoskeleton made up of ossicles, and a water vascular system with tube feet used for movement and feeding. Their arms contain a network of nerves and muscles for coordination and locomotion.
Sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea stars are classified in the phylum Echinodermata. They have a spiny exterior and tube feet that they use for movement and feeding.
The size of a starfish or sea star can vary. There are over 2,000 different species of sea stars that have 5, 10, 20, 40 or more arms.
