Today, scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize our understanding of Ophiuroid echinoderms. For the first time, researchers have identified a new species of Ophiothrix, which is a type of Ophiuroid. This new species, called Ophiothrix suensoni, was discovered in the waters of the South Pacific Ocean, near the Cook Islands. This discovery is particularly exciting because it marks the first time a new species of Ophiothrix has been identified in over 100 years. This finding is an important step forward in understanding the taxonomy of Ophiuroid echinoderms.
