He said: ‘I thought it was an ocean plant with feathers for leaves. When it moved I realised it was something else. I was a bit shocked. I quickly moved away from the rocks.'

The creature is called feather star. I t is found in deep sea and shallows under rocks and uses feathery fringes to move in the water.
