Leptasterias Aequalis
''Leptasterias aequalis'', common names little six-rayed seastar or six-armed star, is a species of starfish. This is a small species, with a total width of only about . The coloration is extremely variable. This seastar is found in the eastern Pacific Ocean, from Washington to Southern California Southern California (commonly shortened to SoCal) is a geographic and cultural region that generally comprises the southern portion of the U.S. state of California. It includes the Los Angeles metropolitan area, the second most populous urban a .... It lives on rocky shores, in the mid- intertidal zone. Many sea-stars broadcast-spawn their embryos, where fertilization occurs in the water column; however, Leptasterias species brood their embryos locally. The stars form mating aggregations and the female sits on her brood for a period of 6–8 weeks while the embryos develop underneath. Eventually, the embryos fully metamorphose into juvenile sea-stars and walk away, and thus ca ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

These are surrounded by small pedicellariae (claw-shaped structures) and interspersed by papulae (respiratory projections). The oral (under) surface of the arms have four longitudinal rows of tube feet Tube feet (technically podia) are small active tubular projections on the oral face of an echinoderm, whether the arms of a starfish, or the undersides of sea urchins, sand dollars and sea cucumbers; they are more discreet tho ...
