Antedon mediterranea is a species of stalkless crinoid in the family Antedonidae, commonly known as the Mediterranean feather star.

Antedon mediterranea has a vestigial stalk, the base of which bears up to forty grasping cirri, articulated prehensile structures with which it can cling to a hard surface.

[2][3] Antedon mediterranea is found in the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas and westward to the south coast of Spain and Cape St.

[1] It is found at depths down to about 80 metres (260 ft) and favours areas with strong currents which bring plenty of food within reach.

The food is then wrapped in mucus and passed by the tube feet down the ambulacral grooves on the arms to the central mouth which is on the upper side of the calyx.
