I think the 'arms' are connected to what looks like the head at the top (are those eyes?) and the blob at the bottom seems to be it's abdomen (I thought it was a stone at first) which is surrounded by other legs. I have no idea where it lives though or what it is called. I can only guess is is water-based.

Researchers scouring the remote forests of the African island nation of Madagascar have found that tiny assassin spiders, grotesque-looking bugs that prey on other spiders, are more diverse than previously thought.Assassin spiders, which grow to less than an eighth of an inch long, are notorious for stabbing helpless spiders with their sharp, venom-filled fangs attached to their super-sized jaws. Assassin spiders also possess very long necks so they can attack their prey from a distance.

"assassin spider" is a cool-ass name.
