Euryale aspera est une espèce d'ophiures (échinodermes) de la famille des Euryalidae. C'est une ophiure dite « gorgonocéphale », aux bras ramifiés. Description et caractéristiques Comme toutes les gorgonocéphales, il s'agit d'une grande ophiure planctonivore, pourvue de longs bras allongés et ramifiés en fractale, permettant de filtrer l'eau de mer en piégeant le plancton, un peu à la manière de leurs cousins les crinoïdes.
The Euryalina are a suborder of brittle stars, which includes large species with either branching arms (called "basket stars") or long and curling arms (called "snake stars"). It is sometimes listed as the order Euryalida. Characteristics Many of the species in this order have characteristic repeatedly branched arms (a shape known as "basket stars", which includes most Gorgonocephalidae and two species in the family Euryalidae), while the other species have very long and curling arms, and go rather by the name of "snake stars" (mostly abyssal species).
