feather star

Any of an unattached, free-swimming group of sea lilies, order Comatulida. The arms are branched into numerous projections (hence ‘feather’ star), and grow from a small cup-shaped body. Below the body are appendages that can hold on to a surface, but the feather star is not permanently attached.
