Searched in many books and online, but can't figure out what this twirly creature is. Saw it on the Great Barrier Reef. Would someone know what it is?
 
As it was already said above me, its a Crinoid (Feather star)

More specifically it looks like a Robust feather star (Himerometra robustipinna) based on the yellow outline and dark-ish red color.
