Brittle Starfish hide under rocks and coral in the day. They come out at night to feed. They can be quite active and move fast. Their legs are brittle and will easily break. The legs do grow back but it takes a long time. People often think that they are baby octopus but other than both having legs that move, they are very different. There are many kinds of Brittle Starfish. This one has very long legs. Kauai 2014

This Brittle Starfish has shorter legs with bands and spots on the disc. Kauai 2022
