Five-armed red sea star LINCKIA LAEVIGATA
PU883-2
This vibrant red specimen belongs to LINCKIA LAEVIGATA, a tropical sea star species found across the Indo-Pacific region. Its five cylindrical arms and perfect star-shaped symmetry give it a graphic silhouette, ideal for display.
Unlike the Mediterranean red Echinaster sepositus, this species can reach impressive size: 42cm. The small off-centre pore visible on its surface is the madreporite, the organ through which the sea star filters seawater to breathe and maintain its internal system.
A bold marine curiosity, balancing natural elegance and geometric precision.
