According to Jungle Boss Co., Ltd., which conducted the cave exploration, images of this creature were sent to professional cave exploration groups, but no one has seen it before. According to the team, this species was found scattered on the surface of stalactites in Hung cave, approximately 300 meters from the cave entrance.

Observing with the naked eyes, this creature has an opaque white main body with many branches extending from the base, resembling a starfish. The branches spread out in multiple directions and are about a few centimeters long.

The research team found approximately 40-50 of these creatures scattered over an area of several dozen square meters in the cave.
