The niche of an Astropecten, a type of sea star, is typically as a predator in marine environments. They feed on bivalve mollusks and other small invertebrates using their tube feet to slowly crawl and capture prey. Astropectens are important in maintaining the balance of ecosystems by controlling the population of these prey species.
You mean southwestern US / northwestern Mexico? Those would be cacti and desert plants, such as the Tarbush (Flourensia cernua), the Creosote Bush (Larrea tridentata), the Arizona Rainbow Cactus (Echinocereus polyacanthus) and the Mexican Fire-barrel Cactus (Ferocactus pilosus).

Sugar starfish, also known as Astropecten spp., primarily reproduce asexually through fragmentation, where a part of the starfish can grow into a new individual. However, they can also reproduce sexually by releasing eggs and sperm into the water column, where fertilization occurs externally. This dual reproductive strategy allows them to adapt to varying environmental conditions.
