Ophiocoma erinaceus
Brittle stars are echinoderms and are related to starfish. They crawl across the seafloor using their flexible arms for locomotion. They generally have five long slender, whip-like arms which may reach up to 60 centimetres (24 in) in length on the largest specimens. They are also known as serpent stars.
Brittle stars live in areas from the low-tide level downwards.
I took a video of the brittle star but don't know how to upload it!
