Image of basket star
Description:
This basket star is much larger than most local brittle star species, as can be seen in this individual which covers the bottom of a 5-gallon bucket. Photo by Dave Cowles, July 2012 Basket stars frequently wave their arms around like a writhing bush. To see a video of this action in the basket star above, click here or here.
