While diving at Osprey reef off of Australia, we saw quite a number of feather stars, the most were seen at night.

I really like the red one. I did not see that color on my trip.

Pretty 
Sometimes when you look in the middle they surprise you - here's a red one we get here (same I posted a while back). There are many colours and some have multiple colours on their arms.
If you are very patient, a lot of times (especially at night) you can watch them "walk". During the day, look for them to be unfurled atop sections of reef where currents are zipping past and they will often be feeding. Featherstars on the lee side of the same structure are likely to be curled up. Very cool.
They also play host to a great range of shrimps and critters so super macro is a good thing!
