Wild Harris
Seven Armed Starfish
This large starfish has a strange life story. It begins life as something resembling a free swimming sea squirt, and a starfish grows on the end of it. Eventually the starfish part takes over and theswimming part disappears – some scientists believe it is made up of 2 separate animals that have come to live as one.
