BKtomodachi Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 It kind of looks like a child cut out the shape of a tooth from grey construction paper. Better pic? Link to comment

jeremai Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 They're all probably the same starfish, actually. Asterinas reproduce by dividing their body along the central disk, leaving behind one star with three legs and one with two. The reason you don't hardly ever see them with all five legs fully developed is because by the time the new legs are almost fully formed the starfish starts the division process again.
