The purple sunstar, scientifically known as Solaster stimpsoni, is a striking sea star characterized by its vibrant purple coloration and distinctive star shape. It typically has multiple arms, usually ranging from 8 to 16, which are broad and flattened, giving it a star-like appearance. The surface is often covered in small spines or tubercles, and it can grow quite large, sometimes reaching up to 30 centimeters in diameter. This species is commonly found in cold ocean waters along the Pacific coast of North America.
