"Fisherman catches terrifying creature off the coast of Singapore."
The creature in question is actually a basket star, a deep-sea echinoderm related to star fish.
A basket star may have several hundred branches they are lined with tiny barbs that evolved to catch crustaceans like velcro the basket star curls into a ball during the day but climbs somewhere high at night, like a stalk of coral, and spreads itself out in the current it literally functions the same as a spiderweb except it’s a spiderweb that eats.
