Sjadesensis starfish [Pteraster sjadesensis]
Description
Divers searching rocky or reef-associated habitats may find this starfish clinging to the substrate with a firm, slow-moving presence. Its arm structure and textured surface can make it look like part of the habitat rather than a separate animal. If you spot one, take a moment to observe—these starfish often remain in place for long periods.
