Brittle stars (Class Ophiuroidea) are the most diverse group of echinoderms, with over 2,000 living species found in every marine environment from the poles to the tropics. Often confused with their relatives, the sea stars, brittle stars are distinct for their long, slender, and whip-like arms that are clearly demarcated from a central disc.
