Pteraster uragensis [Pteraster uragensis]
Description
Pteraster uragensis is the kind of starfish that rewards slow, careful searching along the bottom. Divers may see it tucked against rocks or partially shaded areas, where its body and arm texture help it blend in until you’re right on top of it.
