What is the difference between the brittle stars and the basket stars?
Brittle stars have long, flexible arms that help them move quickly, while basket stars have branched arms that are used for filter feeding. Brittle stars typically have five arms, while basket stars can have 10 or more arms that branch out extensively. Additionally, basket stars are usually found in deeper waters compared to brittle stars.

What is the biggest threat for brittle stars?

Do brittle stars live in rock pools?
Yes they do.
Are brittle stars symbiotic?
Yes - just like other members of the Phylum Echinoderms, brittle stars are host organisms that benefit from symbiosis. They are hosts to many organisms including shrimps, crabs, worms, and snails. Research also indicates that there are symbiotic relationships between species of brittle stars - these relationships are especially important during the early stages of life. If you have access to this online journal, take a look...it explains symbiosis among species of brittle stars in more depth: http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118505905/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0
