Gorgonocephalus eucnemis
''Gorgonocephalus eucnemis'' is a species of basket star in the class Ophiuroidea. It is found in circumpolar marine environments in the Northern Hemisphere. The scientific name for the genus comes from the Greek, ''gorgós'' meaning "dreadful" and ''cephalus'' meaning "head", and refers to the similarity between these basket stars and the Gorgon's head from Greek mythology with its writhing serpents for hair.〔(GORGONOCEPHALUS!! Because Weird is what we do! ) EchinoBlog. Retrieved 2012-01-21.〕 The specific name "eucnemis" is from the Greek "good" and "boot".〔(Genus ''Eucnemis'' ) BugGuide. Retrieved 2012-01-21.〕
==Description==
''Gorgonocephalus eucnemis'' has a central disc up to across with five pairs of arms that branch dichotomously into smaller and smaller subdivisions. Its colour is varying shades of white and beige, often with a darker disc. It has an endoskeleton of calcified ossicles and is covered in a fleshy layer of skin giving it a rubbery appearance. The arms are covered in tiny hooks and spines which can be used to grip and manipulate food particles.〔〔(''Gorgonocephalus eucnemis'' ) The Race Rocks Taxonomy. Retrieved 2012-01-22.〕
