Linckia Sea Star, Blue EXPERT ONLY
Call for PriceThe Linckia Sea Star, also known as the Blue Sea Star, is a species of sea star that is native to the Indo-Pacific region. As its name suggests, it is characterized by its vibrant blue coloration, which can range from a pale blue to a deep, almost purple-blue hue. These sea stars have five arms that radiate from a central disc, and can grow up to 30 centimeters in diameter. They are typically found in shallow waters, particularly in coral reefs and rocky areas, where they feed on detritus and small invertebrates. Linckia Sea Stars are known for their ability to regenerate lost limbs, which is a common defense mechanism for many species of sea stars. If a predator attacks and detaches one of its arms, the Linckia Sea Star can regrow a new arm from the remaining portion of the lost limb. This regenerative ability is made possible by the presence of specialized cells called “blastemal cells” that can differentiate into various types of tissues and organs.
