Biologists are trying now to change the common name we all use from starfish to sea star. Sea stars are distantly related to the plant-like crinoid (which is actually an animal). Both starfish and crinoids move quite actively around the reef at night -- sometimes surprisingly quickly. They come in many forms, from the beautiful to the bizarre.
