Also a brittle star has a better ability to carry pieces of food to it's
mouth with it's arms via conveyor-line like method.

Yes, this and the other differences you mention do distinguish one genera
from another. They are still brittle stars.

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.

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