Brisingids are different from typical sea stars because they reach their arms out into the current and use spines on their arms as velcro to capture tiny prey as food.
These sea stars cling to a sponge on the seafloor to reach higher into the water column to increase their chances of catching something as it drifts by.

Deep-sea brisingid sea stars are now on exhibit! These otherworldly echinoderms can have anywhere from six to 20 arms, and keep full by grabbing food particles from passing water currents.
Brisingids are unusual sea stars found in the deep sea. They are different from typical sea stars because they use the spines on their arms as velcro to capture tiny prey as food. . This one, surrounded by brittle stars, was found 1,700 meters (~5,580 feet) below the surface on the Taney Seamounts, a chain of four volcanoes that lie 333 kilometers (180 nautical miles)due west of Monterey Bay. .
