We just learned about the Asterias Amurensis.
Another type of starfish is the Velcro Sea Star, also called the Novodina Antillensis.
This type of starfish lives in the deap sea in tropical areas of the Atlantic Ocean.
It has 10-14 long arms with eyespots on the ends.
These starfish live on the branches of corals, and stick their long arms into the water to catch small animals drifing by.
Because the poky arms stick to things, they got the nickname velcro.
