Astrophyton muricatum
This was a juvenile Basketstar, still very small in size seen during a night dive in Bahamas. They are only seen at night or towards late afternoon when they come out to feed. During daytime, they are probably hiding under rocks or crevices. This Basketstar are sort of weird or unique, looking like roots of trees.

There were actually lots of them, just have to do a night dive to see them and it was during a night dive with lots of Sharks, not too many divers were keen to do that dive!
Wow Kang, That's great spotting!
