Creatures from the Deep Secrets of the Sea

Scientists from the Census of Marine Life have released an inventory of species distribution and diversity in key global ocean areas. These nocturnal echinoderms are called Sponge Brittle Stars ( Ophiothrix suensonii ). They are very common in the Caribbean. They are so-named because they are found exclusively either inside or outside living sponges . ,[object Object]
