Scientists found a new sea creature with 20 'arms' and named it after a strawberry

• Researchers discovered a new species of feather stars with 20 "arms."
• The species is part of the Antarctic feather stars group and is broadly related to starfish.
• Scientists named their discovery after a strawberry.

Researchers trawling the ocean near Antarctica uncovered a new species that looks haunting in photos — but named it after a fruit.

The Antarctic strawberry feather star is a sea creature with 20 so-called "arms" — some bumpy, some feathery — and can altogether be up to eight inches long, Greg Rouse, a marine biology professor at the University of California, San Diego, told Insider.
