Okinotezurumozuru - Okinotezurumozuru

...The muscles where the arms attach to the plate are well developed, so some species use their arms to move around or swing their arms around to gather and eat plankton (Armstrong's brittle star). Others have complex arms that branch out multiple times (Okinoteru-mozuru). They are dioecious. ...

From 【Male Crane】

...A general term for echinoderms belonging to the Gorgonocephalidae family of the Ophiopods. The arms that arise from an almost pentagonal disk branch out from the base, then branch out 10 to 20 times, becoming more complex and gradually thinner like vines. The shape of these arms gave them the name "hand-shaped vines and sea vines." The net-like arms, which are made of vines, are useful for catching and eating zooplankton. Large ones can reach an overall diameter of 40 to 50 cm.
