Eleven-armed seastar
Coscinasterias muricata
Adults inhabit rocky shores, reefs, and kelp-covered seabeds in temperate coastal waters. They move slowly with hundreds of tube feet and prey on molluscs, barnacles, and other small invertebrates. This species can divide and regenerate missing body parts, sometimes producing individuals with an uneven number of arms.
