Linckia multifora

Multipore Seastar

has five tubular arms and a mottled coloration ranging from red and blue to yellow, often with a white to yellowish-orange background scattered with reddish dots, blotches, or irregular banding. It is capable of asexual reproduction by casting off an arm, which can regenerate into a new individual. The detached arm, as well as the parent, can fully regenerate missing limbs. Commonly found in shallow waters across circumtropical regions. It is primarily a suspension feeder but may also consume microscopic algae.
