I found this on a night dive at Jakes Head, in the Exumas, Bahamas in about 25 ft of water. I think it's a type of brittle star, am I wrong? It spanned about 4 ft across. Another note, this was still "unfurling" it's "arms" as I have 2 pictures of this and the arms are in different positions. Sorry about the quality of the photo, but I used only an internal flash. I have used PS to erase the backscatter, and need to do some more work on it, but am curious as to what it is so I can label it in my gallery when I'm done.
