Ophiure gorgonocéphale, "Gorgonocephalus arcticus", que l'on appelle aussi ophiure panier, sur les tombants de la Basse du Colombier, dans l'archipel de Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. Sa présence est un bon indicateur de la biodiversité. Les ramifications des bras de cette ophiure lui servent à capturer ses proies, majoritairement du zooplancton. Lorsque que ces dernières sont en quantité suffisante, les bras s’enroulent successivement pour les ramener vers sa bouche. Ce phénomène peut être observé…
