Astroboa Nuda
''Astroboa nuda'' is a type of basket star from Gorgonocephalidae family. Its large arms (up to armspread) are highly branched. It inhabits reef slopes exposed to current in diverse places such as the Red Sea The Red Sea ( ar, البحر الأحمر - بحر القلزم, translit=Modern: al-Baḥr al-ʾAḥmar, Medieval: Baḥr al-Qulzum; or ; Coptic: ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⲛ̀ϩⲁϩ ''Phiom Enhah'' or ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⲛ̀ϣⲁⲣⲓ ''Phiom ǹšari''; ... and New Caledonia. During the day it coils into a tight ball. At night it spreads arms to form a basket to feed on plankton. They are part of the class Ophiuroidea, which is the largest class of echinoderms. The name Ophiuroidea comes from the roots, ''ophis'', meaning snake and ''oura'', which means tail, referring to the thin, spiraling shape of the basket stars’ arms.Stöhr S, O'Hara TD, Thuy B (2012) Global Diversity of Brittle Stars (Echinodermata: Ophiuroidea).

Basket Star
The Euryalida are an order of brittle stars, which includes large species with either branching arms (called "basket stars") or long and curling arms (called "snake stars"). Characteristics Many of the species in this order have characteristic repeatedly branched arms (a shape known as "basket stars", which includes most Gorgonocephalidae and two species in the family Euryalidae), while the other species have very long and curling arms, and go rather by the name of "snake stars" (mostly abyssal species). Many of them live in deep sea habitats or cold waters, though some basket stars can be seen at night in shallow tropical reefs. Most young basket stars live on specific type of coral. In the wild they may live up to 35 years. They weigh up to Like other echinoderms, basket stars lack blood and achieve gas exchange via their water vascular system. The basket stars are the largest ophiuroids with '' Gorgonocephalus stimpsoni'' measuring up to 70 cm in arm length wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gorgonocephalidae
Gorgonocephalidae is a family of basket stars. They have characteristic many-branched arms. Gorgonocephalidae are the largest ophiuroids ('' Gorgonocephalus stimpsoni'' can measure up to 70 cm in arm length with a disk diameter of 14 cm). Systematics and phylogeny The family is divided into the following genera: Fossil record of Gorgonocephalidae dates back to Miocene The Miocene ( ) is the first geological epoch of the Neogene Period and extends from about (Ma). The Miocene was named by Scottish geologist Charles Lyell; the name comes from the Greek words (', "less") and (', "new") and means "less recent" ....Kroh, A. 2003.
