Description: This large seven-armed starfish was rarely encountered during fieldwork Whirlwind and not seen at Lancaster. It is most likely Luidia ciliaris indentified from the photographs by the number of arms (seven), the long tube feet, velvety orange/brown texture and pale coloured spines on the margins of the arms. It is found on sandy or gravel seabed down to 400 m depth off European coasts with Shetland near the northern limit of its range. They may lie buried in the sediment and are predators of other echinoderms such as brittle stars and asteroids. They may grow up to 60 cm in diameter.
