"Gorgonocephalus Is A Genus Of Marine Basket Stars In The Class Ophiuroidea"
"Members of this genus are found in coldwater environments including the Arctic, the Antarctic, and deep-sea habitats.
Members of this genus have a central disc with five arms which repeatedly bifurcate, dichotomously branching into smaller and smaller subdivisions.
The branches and branchlets twist and coil and may ensnare small crustaceans that come within reach such as the northern krill."
They are deep sea fish - when they are brought to the surface, the lower outside pressure causes deformations in their flesh and the viscera to come out.
