Brittle Star Spines at Melina Baker blog

Brittle Star Spines. A large brittlestar whose disk may reach up to 2 cm in diameter. The five arms are long (about five times the disk diameter) and spiny. However, besides the differences described above, most brittle star species have spines on their arms and the madreporite, which connects the ambulacral system that controls the hydraulic feet with the surrounding water, is not located on the top side, as it is in starfishes, but on the bottom. Sometimes this attracts a hungry fish but fortunately, a star. Brittle stars are sea star cousins that bury themselves for protection, leaving an arm or two free to catch bits of food. Brittle stars have skeletal plates that function as microscopic lenses and serve as primitive eyes. Meet the spiny brittle star. The central body is covered in spines as well.
