The small Brittle star, Amphipholis squamata, also known as ‘brooding snake star’ is related to the starfish.
This Brittle star lives in the intertidal zone in shallow water, and can be found under large stones and shells,
It walks around on its long, fragile spiny arms, and needs to be handled very carefully as its arms easily break off.
