About this species
Neocrinus naresianus is a species of sea lily, echinoderms belonging to the family Balanocrinidae. It was previously part of the monotypic genus Hypalocrinus; a study comparing ontogenetic development of brachial articulations suggested that the genus Hypalocrinus is in fact be a synonym of Neocrinus, and the only species should be part of that genus.
