Dr. Melissa Dunphy

LillyLyle/Count Melancholia@echinoblog Looks like a lovely cake! Or an unbaked pot pie, haha. (maybe I should go and eat something)
Nobody_you_know@echinoblog it almost looks knitted. Where is it found?
@nobody_you_know About 400-600 m off New Caledonia in the South Pacific
OthelloFloof@echinoblog It looks like an expensive bar of soap.
jeanaWhat a lovely animal! At first I thought it was a very fancy ravioli 😄
Sara D@jeana Not just me then? Okay…
Grizzy8@echinoblog This looks like an artisan pierogi. I want to fry it with butter and eat it up. Or I might just be hungry.
@brianbeau9 @echinoblog I immediately thought of ravioli, so it’s not just you.
@brianbeau9 @echinoblog So, of course, now I want this impossibly cool-looking, surely super tasty ravioli.
tmegadeath@echinoblog Beautiful: how do they develop snd what is their larval (?) form?
@tmegadeath completely unknown. never been seen alive.
B Thoreau 🛸@echinoblog I thought that was some kind of Christmas cookie at first. 
rootof@echinoblog it's crazy that another type of starfish shape is l inverted on the underside. You could almost believe a starfish put on a puffy jacket.
