RFM4R47F–The variable bushy featherstar (Comaster schlegelii:15 cms.) is found commonly in the Indo-Pacific region, where it lives on shallow reefs. This individual's flexible arms were extended fully to enable it to catch microplankton. This main food source would then be transferred to the central mouth. On the underside one can see root-like appendages, called cirri, with which it was attached to the substrate. If unsatisfied with its location, the animal can 'walk' on its cirri to a new place, or swim there using gentle undulations of its many arms. Photographed in Balinese waters, Indonesia.
