So many arms have gathered on this rock, but at least these brittle stars don't have to worry about being sunflower starfish chow, like the ones in this BBC video I watched of them being pursued across an urchin barren in the kelp forest.

Seeing these echinoderms was really cool, and how they slowly moved their arms around in the water.

Here's the video that I thought of when photographing these organisms:
