Ogmocoma

Ogmocoma is a genus of brittle stars belonging to the family Ophiacanthidae. These marine invertebrates are characterized by their five long, slender, and often spiny arms radiating from a central disc. Like other brittle stars, Ogmocoma species are generally detritivores or suspension feeders, using their arms to collect food particles from the seafloor or water column. They are typically found in deep-sea environments. The genus is distinguished from other ophiacanthids by specific morphological characteristics relating to the disc, arm spines, and mouth structures. More specific details on differentiating characteristics require examination of the specific species within the genus.
