I have encountered many of these on many a dive but I have no clue to what they are. I am hoping that someone who is much more knowledgeable than I on ichthyology.
Tentative id. If anyone knows any better please let me know!

The brown brittle star is a nocturnal animal and can be seen writhing around on the sandy sea floor. They can also be seen during the day hiding in the cracks and crevices of large rocks.

My brother found this little critter hidden in the sand, when he placed his hand down on the seabed to support himself. It was the first time we have every seen one, especially this close to shore.
Not 100% sure of id as these are rare in the med.
