The Antarctic Sunstar

The Antarctic Sunstar was one of the strangest creatures the crew discovered down there. The researchers, on the other hand, gave it a dreadful moniker. They dubbed it the Death Star, and we can see why they chose that name. Labidiaster annulus is the scientific name for the animal. It is a cousin of the ordinary starfish, yet it is a quite different organism.

For starters, the Death Star has the potential to have up to 50 arms! It can even expand to the size of a hubcap. The skin on the arms is covered in tiny pincers that close when they come into touch with something. Most of the time, the unfortunate victim is a passing krill. This isn’t even the strangest thing about the Sunstar!
