Description
Slender armed starfish (Luidia clathrata) is a large sea star species, found along the coastlines of the western Atlantic, reaching up to 30 cm in diameter. Feeding as both a forager and a predator, it shows an almost exclusive preference for Coot clam (Mulinia lateralis) when it is available, and uses chemoreceptors to track it down.
