Brightest starfish




         Meet the elusive
         Egyptian sea star

         Little is known about the
         Egyptian sea star, Gomophia
         egyptiaca. This beautiful species
         comes in shades of red and
         orange with short, fearsome-
         looking spikes and can be found
         along the coast of eastern
         Africa and Madagascar. Like
         many starfish, it has five arms
         and is able to regenerate its
         own limbs as its vital organs are
         all in its arms.
