A golden feather star (unstalked crinoid) perched with its arms extended in a likely filter feeding posture. Brittle stars, different from those above, litter the boulder-field in the background.
Image Of the Day caption:
This image of a golden feather star (unstalked crinoid) was taken with an underwater camera system known as Seasled. The Seasled was developed by WHOI scientist Dr. Hanu Singh's lab and used in a series of expedition from 2010 to 2015. Scientists used the camera system to make observations of a reproductive population of King Crabs on the continental slope off Marguerite Bay on the western Antarctic Peninsula.
