Sea Monster!

 Don't worry, the Antarctic strawberry feather star, Promachocrinus fragarius, is at most 8 inches long. It's not exactly a face hugger.

But it does have 20 arms coming from its strawberry-shaped body. Feather stars typically have 10. There's as yet no explanation for the excessive number of arms, or rather tentacles.

It's definitely a little baby cosmic horror, am I right?
