Question Life span of a brittle star fish is....

Anyone have a general idea of the average life span of a brittle star fish? I’ve had one about two years I believe that is acting a bit strange. I'm not sure the exact species, but the center body is black and the arms are black and white.

I've had my two serpent stars for about 6 years and had a brittle star for 5 years, he died when I switched tanks, he just never made the acclimation like the other two did despite the long and arduous 6 hour drip acclimation .
