Yes Unlike star fish though, the Brittle star's legs don't touch at the center.
The legs of a sea star radiated out from a central disc to make one complete structure. Their movement is done by a hydraulic system in their tubed feet. Brittle stars have whip-like legs independently attached to the central disc. They articulate these legs around in order to move.
It is related to Harlequin serpent star, fancy yellow brittle star fish, green brittle star fish, red brittle star fish and many others. Pretty much most of the sea stars with serpent legs are related to it.
That depends on which species of brittle star you are referring to. There are 1900 living species of brittle star.
A Brittle star is not a myriapod. A Brittle star is an echinoderm. An example of a myriapod would be a centipede.
