I was mooching a herring when this magical creature emerged from the deep. Can you help me to identify the species? What exactly is it?

Thanks, jp52! You gave me a really good pointer...

I knew that I was bringing something to the surface, but I was so surprised when I saw the basket star. Such an alien looking creature. Sorry to disappoint you, NowhereMan, but this wasn't my dinner. I sent her back down to prosper in the depths of the Monterey Canyon.
