E. parrae have reached speeds of up to 140 m per hour while crawling across the sea floor.

Subspecies

While originally thought to be three separate species- Endoxocrinus parrae, Endoxocrinus prionedes, and Endoxocrinus carolinae, are now recognized as three subspecies of Endoxocrinus parrae. The speciation of E. parrae has been hypothesized to be a result of different environmental conditions.
