Title Abnormal asteroids from the seas
around India
 
Creator James, D B
 
Subject Sea Stars
 
Description Echinoderms as a rule are pentamerous and
therefore most of the asteroids have only five arms.
However, some of the asteroids like Luidia maculata,
Acanthaster planci and others always have more than
five arms. In some of the asteroids like Pentaceraster
regulus and Protoreaster lincki. the number of arms
may be less than five or more than five due to freak
formation at the time of development.
