Should this new file be in the same directory as the old one?

Try:
Code:
for file in *.gbk; do
  awk 'BEGIN{RS="LOCUS"}/Equinodermata/{print "LOCUS"$0}' $file > new_$file
done

Code:
awk 'BEGIN{RS="LOCUS"}/Equinodermata/{print "LOCUS"$0 > FILENAME"_found"}' *gbk

your search patterns if found in a file say something.gbk, will be written into a new unique file something.gbk_found
