The strange black coloured creature has almost 20 hairy legs/tentacles. Picture of this strange animal have been doing the rounds online. It is supposedly a dark black feather starfish. One time, a fish which has a human mouth appearance with teeth was also discovered in Malaysia.  It was later identified to be triggerfish.

A fisherman named Desha Srichai pulled out this bizarre animal in Southern Thailand last month. He caught it in his fishing net and recoiled it with horror. He poked it with stick to see if it was moving and he could identify it from his phone. He told the local media, "At first I thought it was just a twig but then the thing started to move. I was scared and leapt back. It confused me because that was the first time I saw such a strange creature." He took several pictures of it before releasing it back into the waters. It looks similar to brittle star which had also confused netizens earlier this year.
