Eight arms, each 1-2 cm long, extend from a single cylindrical stalk, and two of the arms are connected to each other to form a cross shape. At the end of each arm is a group of small tentacles, and at the end of the small tentacles is a spherical sucker. The body is usually brown or greenish brown with white spots, but sometimes purple spots are mixed in.
