∙ 12y agoBrittle stars are actually part of the Echinoderm Phylum. They have an endoskeleton made of calcium plates. Brittle stars typically live on the ocean floor in crevices or holes. The move quickly and scoop food using their tentacles. They are also capable of regeneration if a tentacle is damaged.many people are confused them with arthropods because their skeleton is like them and their body is soft but that's absolutely wrong. Infact Echinoderm Phylum is very close to Phylum Chordata bcz the evolution of vertebral column stars .That's also a reason to place brittle star in Echinoderm Phylum.
