Nice to be able to show @pjd1 this species of brittle star. Thbe second photo has the arm of the Ophionereis fasciata for size comparrision.
Found under a rock in the low intertidal zone.
(Once again ignore the location as this was not found on the coastal walk track amoung rawiri but that is what the gps thinks.)

I think this is Ophioceres huttoni although it is one colour, but taht could be because it may be a juvenile.

Back down in Brittle Star alley and found this one @sadiem which is not the usual that I find around here. The pen marks on the glove fingers are 10mm apart.

Went back down brittle star alley to find this for better photos and the first rock I turned over had this little beauty under it.
I think I have this one right @sadiem?
