Weird basket sea star

It doesn't look that innocent when you see it eating

What kind of creature looks like a plant from afar? What about up close? What if it's so motionless that it looks like a coral... most of the time? Well, it can't actually be a coral, in that case. This funny animal (yes, animal) resembles one of the plants you might find around it, up until the moment it starts eating... or when it dies, which can take up to 35 years!
