EDITORS COMMENTS
In this studio shot from the Natural History Museum's vast collection, a jar holds a group of Ophiuroid brittle stars, also known as ophiuroids or brittlestars, suspended in a preserving spirit. These enchanting invertebrates are part of the Echinodermata phylum, specifically the Asterozoa and Ophiuroidea classes. The Ophiuroid brittle stars are a common sight on the deep ocean floor, where they can occur in enormous numbers. Their elongated, flexible arms, which can be easily broken off and regenerated, give them their name. These arms are lined with tiny, suction cups that help the brittle stars to grasp onto the seafloor or other surfaces. In this image, each specimen is carefully labeled, ensuring their identification and preservation for future generations. The jars, filled with preserving spirit, protect these delicate creatures from decay and keep them in a state of suspended animation. The ethereal, wet appearance of the animals and the glass jar add to the otherworldly ambiance of the scene. Ophiuroid brittle stars play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the deep-sea ecosystem. They feed on detritus and other small organisms, helping to recycle nutrients and keep the food chain functioning. Their resilience and adaptability to extreme deep-sea conditions make them fascinating subjects for scientific study and exploration. This photograph serves as a testament to the Natural History Museum's commitment to preserving and documenting the natural world. It invites us to marvel at the wonders of the deep ocean and the intricate beauty of these enigmatic invertebrates.
