Brittle Star on Purple Tube Sponge

Spiny Brittle Star on Purple Tube Sponge - Belize

Smaller and more fragile than the common starfish, these tiny echinoderms swarm over reefs and
sponges at night time looking for tiny morsels of food. All starfish are capable of growing back
limbs that they have lost. The starfish in this photograph appears to be re-growing a new leg.
