Brittle stars do not have tube feet like sea stars. Instead, they possess flexible, slender arms that can move independently and are lined with small spines. While they lack the suction capability of tube feet, brittle stars can use their arms for locomotion and feeding. Their tube-like structures, called podia, are primarily used for respiration rather than movement.
