Ophiomastix wendtii

Ophiomastix wendtii, also known by its common name, the red ophiocoma, and formerly as Ophiocoma wendtii, is a species of brittle stars that inhabits coral reefs from Bermuda to Brazil, primarily in the Caribbean sea. It is known for its advanced compound eyes and club-like spines along its arms. These brittle stars have long, thin arms emanating from a small, disk-shaped body, and are about the size of an outstretched human hand.
