Sea Stars

Tropical marine sea stars, belonging to the class Asteroidea, are iconic inhabitants of coral reefs and shallow coastal waters worldwide. These fascinating echinoderms are known for their radial symmetry and typically five arms, although some species can have more arms or different shapes. Sea stars come in a variety of sizes and colors, ranging from small, brightly colored species to larger, more subdued forms. Sea stars are equipped with tube feet and a water vascular system that allows them to move and feed efficiently.
