Brittle star

Because this animal has smooth rather than spiny arms, I would think it is one of the serpent stars.

Hello. Brittle stars are invertebrates, members of the (phylum) Echinodermata along with starfish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, sand dollars and others. I will move it from fish to the "other" category. Cool spotting.

We have a similar lighter brittle star here in the Indian River.

wow...almost alien!

Weird, but definitely cool! Thanks for sharing this one with us!

Very cool!

great find

Thank you, Ashish....my guess would be that it is some type of starfish...I was on a snorkling trip to mysterious Cana Island, where some of the famous large spheres from pre-Columbian times are found...

That's a interesting looking starfish! Nice find!

Wow..Matthew...thanks for sharing.. Like to hear something about this spotting...Your efforts to grab this spotting are priceless..!!
