Brisinga endecacnemos is a species of starfish found in deep waters off Norway, Rockall Trough off Ireland, Cape Verde, to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The species is described as being a "brilliant red", with a body measuring between 2.8 cm and 3.0 cm and 9 to 12 limbs generally measuring over 33 cm. Upon its discovery it was deemed to be an evolutionary link between ophiuroids and asteroids.[1][2][3]
