STAR!
Starfish
One of the more than 1800 species found worldwide :-)
The Asteroidea (also known as sea stars or starfish) are among the most diverse and familiar of the living Echinodermata, including over 1800 species from every ocean basin in the world, including the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific as well as the Arctic and the Southern Ocean, inhabiting intertidal to 6000 m abyssal settings. Living asteroids are pentagonal to stellate (although some sphaerical forms are known) and have arms that are continuous with the disk. Two to four rows of tube feet are present. Most asteroids have five rays, but some can have as many as 50.
