Tidepool Tim says,  “These stars are found in subtidal and deep water, easily recognizable by their large disc connected to up to 14 arms. If you’re lucky, you might find one that’s a meter wide - one of the largest species on Earth! They’re robust predators after other stars, sea urchins, anemones, and bivalve molluscs, snails, and sea cukes. Like other stars, their stomach emerges from their body and onto their prey for digestion.”
