Cute baby starfish alert. 2 species in the samples, Luidia sarsi (5 arms) & L. ciliaris (7 arms). As plankton they have a larval body & are known as bipinnaria larvae. Then the juvenile “rudiment” develops tube feet, detaches or absorbs the larval body and sinks to the seabed. https://t.co/4vuxUnUNvr
