- No description given -

Sign in or Join in order to comment.

It is a medium sized feather star, with a relatively variable color pattern. Classically, it is gray-white concentrically barred cream, brown or orange. It has the peculiarity of having more often its arms in two parallel planes, like a fan, rather than as a bush or corolla. It stands at night at the summit of the corals, more or less perpendicular to the current.
