Tidepool Tim finds some neat Brittlestars and Slimeworms.

Tidepool Tim says,  “Daisy brittle stars look distinctly different than sea stars. Their arms are very slender, and may break off if handled! In fact, this is a defensive strategy to escape prey. The arm will regenerate before long! Brittle stars tend to prey on microscopic organisms, feeding differently than a sea star. Their stomachs cannot extrude for feeding. The food goes right into its mouth.”
