Description
The panamic cushion star (Pentaceraster cumingi) inhabits rocky seafloors in tropical east Pacific coastlines. It feeds primarily on algae, seagrass, microorganisms, and dead biomass. The skeletons of panamic cushion stars are popular decorations in Mexico and Peru, so they are often found in curio shops. As a result, the Peruvian population is nearly extinct.
