Brittle stars possess a simple body system characterized by a central disc and five long, flexible arms. They belong to the echinoderm phylum and have a water vascular system, which aids in locomotion and feeding. Their body structure lacks a centralized brain; instead, they have a decentralized nerve net. Brittle stars primarily rely on their tube feet, which are extended through the water vascular system, for movement and capturing prey.
