Reticulated starfish [Pteraster reticulatus]
Description
Divers often notice this starfish by its distinctive, net-like pattern across the arms and body. It typically moves slowly along rocky or reef surfaces, using its tube feet to cling and forage. In clear water, its textured look and muted colors make it a subtle but memorable find.
