Description
Members of this family have five arms which subdivide near the base giving them ten arms in total. The arms can reach 100 mm (4 in) in length, and there are thirty to sixty or more cirri. The gonads are located on the arms, and the embryos are brooded in cavities in the arms. The aboral surface (underside) of the disc has five deep radial pits arranged in a star-shape.[3]
Species
The World Register of Marine Species lists the following species in this genus:[2]
- Notocrinus mortenseni John, 1938
- Notocrinus virilis Mortensen, 1917
gollark: Also, it's ridiculously verbose and you don't get stack traces.
gollark: It's meant to encode the idea of the thing *or* an error being returned, but it doesn't; there's nothing in the type preventing you from just returning two things, or zero things.
gollark: (also, like many Go things it is not well integrated with anything else; the multiple returns aren't first class like python tuples, you can't unpack them into function calls, etc)
gollark: I like the basic concept, you can do fun stuff with it, but using them for error handling like that is not great.
gollark: You can also just use sshfs for mounting a remote filesystem over SSH.
