Phlimm sent me a couple of beauties. This first one comes from the good peeps over at Zooillogix. Check out neocrinus decorus - better known as the sea lily or feather star. "See feather star crawl. See feather star come for your soul. Crawl feather star, crawl." That's the latest in a children's book series I am working on.
This last one is known as a hairy crab or the teddy-bear crab. Not only is this crab 'hairy', but it's also poisonous. Wow, talk about a crustacean that's got nothing to offer (not even teddy-bear hugs!), unless you are in the market for surliness.

That feather star is AWESOME!! I want one, now :D
looks like a feather-duster in beetlejuice. maybe a shuttlecock.
Ooh, haunted feather-duster!
That first one looks exactly like the electric fan I use in my bedroom.
Crusty crab. I doubt if he improves when you wash him.
Wow, that feather thing is pretty awesome. What sort of creatur is it....... defintiley wasn't expecting it to move like that o_O
OMG! I've studies feather stars in books but I've NEVER seen video of one moving like that. That is freaky-COOL. ;)
That crab is one hirsute little fella.
