Sea star or brittle star jelly fish hitchhikers?

Shot in the Mergui Archipelogo, Burma, Andaman Sea, Indian Ocean.

Are these little hitchhikers sea stars (Asteroidea) or brittle stars (Ophiuroidea)?

Hi Nick - they look like brittle stars to me.

I'd love to know if the pelagic larva settled on the jelly & stayed there or if the jelly got too close to the bottom & they climbed on. I suspect it's the first option.

Cheers, Leslie

Thanks Leslie. Looks like there are at least 4 on there so I suppose they must have settled pretty quickly. Or do pelagic larvae tend to stick together?
