1/2" long disembodied starfish arm

A client happened to get an Orange Linckia Starfish and one of the arms had an injury which led to a 1/2" piece breaking off.

This arm end has been crawling around for nearly 2 months and is eating. I wonder if I cut the other 4 ends off and 'even' the main body out, if the other 4 pieces will survive?

Are you saying there was no mouth attached? How is this possible? How does it eat? They respond to stimulus so where is its for lack of a better tern its nervous system?

Video?
