Colobometra perspinosa explained

Colobometra perspinosa is a species of echinoderm known by the common name black feather star.

The black feather star is widespread throughout the tropical waters of the central Indo-Pacific region.[1] This feather star is often clinged to gorgonians, exposed their open arms to the marine flow to optimise the nutriment capture.

Its maximal diameter is 30NaN for ten arms maximum.[2] Its coloration is usually black but it can also be black and white, and even brown-gold for rare specimen.
