Description
Lychnorhiza arubae is around 23 centimetres in width. Eight pointed, velar lappets are present in each octant. The arm-disk has short filaments. The oral arms are as long as the radius of the bell disk, and are widely separated from each other. They have a few short filaments. There are two centripetal canals in between adjacent radial canals; rhopalar radial canals are broad, while inter-rhopalar ones are more narrow.[2]
