Large creature with 20 arms found lurking in Antarctic sea. It’s a new species

Force me to shut off my ad blocker before being able to view your site content? Nope, fuck you Miami Herald. A better link would have been nice for this curiosity. Here it is (lots of tracking but at least it doesn't block content because of ad blockers): https://gizmodo.com/antarctic-strawberry-feather-star-20-arm...

Edit: Also, to lower the drama a bit, it's part of a well-known genus that has five known species to it.

> Researchers named the new species after the Latin word for “strawberry” because of the “resemblance of the (body) shape… to a strawberry.”

When you’ve spent too much time in Antarctica and forgotten what a strawberry looks like…

Photos included! It looks quite creepy. Anyone who played The Forest or its sequel got flashbacks looking at those limbs.

Sadly lacking info on how big it is.

Oh no, Calvin really did make it to Earth. We are doomed.

Looks like combination of jellyfish (shape) and insect (structure).

"It tastes like chicken!" -all octopuses

I want to see an animation of it moving, or preying on something.
