This starfish lives on or just beneath sandy seabeds. Its stiff arms are lined by rows of spines which help it move through the sand. You will sometimes find them washed up on sheltered sandy beaches such as Seilebost or Horgabost.

...and relax. A very laid-back looking sand star, looking a bit like spongebob's friend Patrick.
