This marine gastropod mollusk is found in the Western Pacific Ocean, particularly in the waters surrounding the Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. The Spiny Star Astraea has a distinctive appearance, with a spiny, ridged shell that is typically a dark brown or black color. The shell can grow up to 3 inches in diameter and is often covered in algae and other marine growth. The snail itself is a creamy white color and has a small foot that it uses to move around on rocky surfaces and coral reefs.
