As representative species of the Brittle Stars class, the Naked Basket Star is part of the Echinodermata phylum, which also encompasses other sea urchins.

During the day Astroba nuda hides itself in columns and chinks within the reef, while they spread around their arms at night to catch food at exposed places.
