Horned sea star,or chocolate chip starfish (Protoreaster nodosus),on the seabed. This starfish inhabits the tropical Indo-Pacific region,where it feeds on carrion,algae,aquatic plants and detritus. Like most other starfish,it has amazing powers of regeneration. If an arm is severed it will grow back,and occasionally a severed arm will develop into a complete new starfish. It is a large starfish,and can reach a diameter of around 40 centimetres. Photographed off Malaysia | |
