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.
