	Solaster Endeca The purple sunstar, northern sunstar, or smooth sun star, ''Solaster endeca'', is a species of starfish in the family Solasteridae. Description ''Solaster endeca'' can grow to about across, but a more normal adult size is half that. It is a robust species with 9 or 10 arms (occasionally any number from seven to 13) set around a large disc. The aboral (upper) surface is formed of calcareous plates densely covered with Paxilla (ossicle), paxillae, peg-like projections covered in tiny spinelets. No pedicellariae are present, but groups of two to three gills are found between the plates. On the oral (under) surface, the row of plates on either side of the ambulacral groove bear two or three spines and several rows of shorter spines, with two rows of tube feet. ''S. endeca'' ranges in colour from greyish-cream to pinkish-purple. The arms are often turned up at the tips, showing the pale oral surface. It can be confused with ''Crossaster papposus '', the only British species with a s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Solaster Stimpsoni ''Solaster stimpsoni'', common names Stimpson's sun star, sun star, orange sun star, striped sunstar, and sun sea star, is a species of starfish in the family Solasteridae. It was first described by Addison Emery Verrill in 1880. Description ''Solaster stimpsoni'' is a large species, growing up to 50 cm in diameter. It can have 8 to 12 arms, but usually has 10. The aboral surface has a distinctive reddish orange colour and is covered with thick paxillae. The arms are long, slender, and tapering, each with a dark, purplish-grey contrasting stripe, running from the centre of the body to the tip. They contain no pedicellariae. The underside of the arms have two rows of tube feet. Members of the class Asteroidea exhibit both asexual and sexual means of reproduction. Life cycle: Embryos hatch into planktonic larvae and later metamorphose into pentamerous juveniles which develop into young sea stars with stubby arms. Distribution This species is found in the seas of Japan, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Percy Sladen Walter Percy Sladen (30 June 1849 – 11 June 1900) was an English biologist who specialised in starfish. The son of a wealthy leather merchant, Sladen was born near Halifax, Yorkshire on 30 June 1849. He was educated at Hipperholme Grammar School and Marlborough College, but received no university training. As a young man he indulged in his hobby of natural history, but soon became fascinated with echinoderms. In 1876 he was elected a Fellow of the Linnean Society of London, and the following year became a Fellow of the Zoological Society of London. 1877 also saw the publication of his first paper, in which he split the sea-lily genus ''Poteriocrinus'' into four; in his lifetime, Sladen would gain a reputation as a "splitter" because of his proclivity for declaring specimens to belong to new genera or species. Late that year he began a long and fruitful collaboration with Duncan; which would see the publication of some 15 co-authored papers, many on fossils, over twelve years. ...

	Solaster Paxillatus ''Solaster paxillatus'', the orange sun star, is a species of starfish found at varying depths in the northern Pacific Ocean. It is a natural predator of the starfish '' Asterias amurensis''. Description The orange sun star has a somewhat inflated appearance (especially after it has recently fed) and eight to ten long arms with tapering tips. It grows to a diameter of about . The aboral (upper) surface is covered with plates, each bearing fifteen to thirty small, blunt spinelets known as paxillae. These are arranged in oblique rows along the arms and outer part of the disc. Along the sides of the arms, the plates have four lobes. The colour of the aboral surface varies from yellow and pale orange to brick red, and deep water individuals may be violet. The oral (under) surface is a paler colour and has two rows of white tube feet on either side of the ambulacral groove which runs along the centre of each arm. The mouth is surrounded by distinctive, shovel-shaped plates. Distribu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Solaster Namakae ''Solaster namakae'' is a species of starfish within the family Solasteridae. The species occurs off the Hawaiian Islands at depths of 1169 to 1979 meters. The species name ''namakae'' is named after Nāmaka In Hawaiian mythology, Nāmaka (or Nā-maka-o-Kahai, the eyes of Kahai) appears as a sea goddess in the Pele family.
