One is behavior that we were discussing, but also look a the visible
difference. A serpent star is smooth, and a brittle star has lot's of
appendages, and a "green brittle/serpent" is smooth with *some*
appendages, but not nearly as much as a brittle star.

Yes, serpent stars have smooth vertebrae while those of brittle stars are
spiney. So what? They are all in the same family, the difference being at
the level of genera. They are all still brittle stars.

There is a difference between the "green brittle", and what we all call
a brittle star.
