Red Sea, Egypt -- A crinoid feeds atop the reef at night. Though it looks like a plant, the crinoid (also known as the "feather star" or "sea lily") is actually an animal, related to starfish. About 30 seconds after this photo was taken, the crinoid rapidly crawled away from the photographer's lights. © Rick Collier / RickCollier.com.
