The fun part is that they aren’t actively controlling the movement of each individual tentacle.

Starfish have a “distributed brain”, as opposed to most other animals having a “centralized brain”. This means that in Starfish, their thinking bits are more like a mass of neuronal tissue that’s more concentrated in the center, but extends down each limb, making it so that every limb technically has its own brain and operates mostly independently of the rest of the body.
