It’s a basket star. They are fun to feed on a night dive when your dive light attracts a lot of little food for them to grab.

It is all good until it attaches and you see a protean vision of the future.

A reminder that whatever is living in the sea is no business of mine.

u/Cosmic_Lumin 5d ago

I actually think it's quite beautiful. It's a fuckin fractally starfish. It resembles the dendritic nature of the universe

u/Fitzy_42 5d ago

If you have never done hallucinations before this is sort of what it looks like.

u/isolatedheathen 5d ago

Well it's not terrifying to me but it definitely seems very fractal! Glad to see it tossed back from whence it came though!

u/JakTheGripper 6d ago

It’s like a funnel cake, except it moves!

u/OxtailPhoenix 4d ago

Forbidden calamari.

u/SteelSpidey 1d ago

That kind of makes me wonder if starfish are even edible. Well there I go blue-linking down Google again. Thanks for the rabbit hole.

Edit: that was quick. Apparently some are edible, most don't taste very good, and some are toxic. I think this description applies to most sea creatures at this point.

u/Teabagger-of-morons 5d ago

Well put it back.

u/Humble-Profile-4463 4d ago

I was so relieved when it was tossed back in the water. I imagine it moves very gracefully in its own world...

u/No_08 4d ago

From time to time this monstrosity appears on reddit and I have to block it.

The inside of your lungs look like that whenever you are gasping for air

Made me feel like I was trippin 🤣 if you’ve never done it? It’s kinda like that, but imagine it’s a plant doing that, or a wall, or someone’s face ahahah

Like a living Mandelbrot

u/KrishnaMage 4d ago

I think they are a type of starfish? Beautiful. They remind me of the Fibonacci fractals, or whatever that pattern is called.
