Sometimes sea stars rest directly on the viewing glass in our tanks. When they do, you get an excellent view of the undersides of their bodies, including their “tube feet.” These tube feet provide many types of echinoderms (such as sea stars, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins) with locomotive capabilities.
