Brittle stars move by swaying their arms, or as they are called tentacles, side to side.Some smaller brittle stars "go with the flow" or move with the current because they are not strong enough to move by themselves or fight the current to go the way they want to go.
Brittle stars have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria. The bacteria live on the brittle star's skin and help digest food for the brittle star. In return, the brittle star provides the bacteria with protection and a suitable environment to thrive.
The arms are used for grasping food and for locomotion.
Brittle stars behave as a street cleaner. They are omnivores that pick up and ingest food that are available to them.
