The large white object has the shape of Bathypathes alternata but appears to bedead. There is an orange red starfish at its base. Look carefully and you will find a number of rock sea pens many of which are bent from left to right. (Image credit: NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, 2015 Hohonu Moana)
