Brittle Star Tube Feet at Pauline Marrero blog

Brittle Star Tube Feet. (oral disc diameter 3 mm) on a gorgonian branche have feathered tube feet. Ophiuroids exhibit the three distinctive characteristics of the phylum echinodermata: Filtering brittle stars, such as this tiny ophiothela sp. Brittle stars don't move using tube feet like sea stars and urchins do, they move by wriggling their arms. The brittle star shares common traits with starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and feather stars, all of which have tube feet, which help these creatures to catch their prey and burrow into mud. Even some starfish possess proper eyes: A body plan with five part symmetry (pentaradial), an internal calcium carbonate skeleton in the. Even though their bodies are radially symmetrical, they can move like a bilaterally symmetrical animal (like a human or other mammal). Beyond the reefs, brittle stars will occupy any ecological niche that is available to them. Compound eyes squeezed into their tube feet, or simple ocelli (the pressure to see well may be stronger for starfish because they are active hunters). The five legs of the common brittle stars are very long and slim (typically five times the diameter of their body in length) and are segmented, with tube feet and seven serrated spines per.
