Specimen: Thorn Starfish (Astropecten polyacanthus) Frame Color: White Frame Dimensions: 9" x 9" x 1.75"
The Thorn Starfish (Astropecten polyacanthus) is a striking species found in the coastal waters of the Philippines. Recognized for its sharp, spiny margins and distinctive star shape, this sea star thrives on sandy ocean floors, where it buries itself for protection and hunts for small prey. Unlike many starfish, it moves quickly across the seabed using its tube feet, making it an active and fascinating marine predator.
This beautifully framed Thorn Starfish showcases its intricate structure and natural symmetry, offering a stunning display of oceanic beauty. A perfect addition to any natural history collection, coastal décor, or educational display, this preserved specimen highlights the diversity and resilience of marine life.
📌 Please note: Each specimen is unique, so there may be slight variances in color, shape, and texture. The starfish is displayed in a glass-front wooden frame with a linen background, ready to hang or display.
