Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Slightly less dangerous than the 535 arm monster which occupies DC.

Photos of the thing at the link. A search of the Latin name gives more articles with more information and more photos of a new species related to sea lilies and more distantly to star fish.
[Regnum] In Antarctica, a new invertebrate was discovered, the description of which had never come across in the literature before. As FOX 13 Seattle reported on August 13 , the creature has 20 arms and a strawberry-shaped body.

It received the name Promachocrinus fragarius, which means "Antarctic strawberry feather star". Despite similarities to other invertebrates, this member of the species is vastly larger than them and has a truly otherworldly appearance.

The feather star has a bright color and long tentacles. She can live at a depth of 20 meters to two kilometers under the ocean surface.

Earlier, IA Regnum reported that a giant "fish of the apocalypse" was discovered off the coast of Taiwan in July. The frames with it show that the oar king, and it turned out to be him, exceeded two meters in length. The divers who observed it looked much smaller in comparison. Deep holes were visible on the sides of the king, and he himself froze motionless. It is believed that the herring king is a harbinger of earthquakes, disasters and misfortunes.
