The cushion star looks more like a spineless sea urchin than a starfish. Its arms are so short that they merge with its body and only their tips can be seen. There are no specific predators found for the cushion star.

What is the length of a cushion star?

The lengh of a cushion starfish is 25cm. Sea Stars have remarkable regenerative powers, when attacked and damaged by predators they are able to grow new arms. They usually have five arms but have been found with 4 or 6 arms, this may be because more than one arm has been damaged at one time!Sometimes small parasitic limpets can be found on the underside of arms which can deform the arms.They possess a cleverly evolved arsenal of hydraulic tube feet connected to an elaborate water-vascular system that encircles the animal's mouth and extends via five radial canals down the centre of each arm.Their mouth is underneath, but their prey is absorbed outside their mouths by forcing out their digestive organs from their stomach.Sea Stars are carnivores and feed on almost any food including molluscs, worms, detritus and each other!Some sea stars like the crown of thorns can be venomous.Scientific Name:Culcita novaeguineaeSpecies:Sea Stars (Oreasteridae)Other names:Starfish, Stella Marina Cuscino, Tropical Sea Star, Tropical Starfish, Cushion Star, Cushion Starfish, Pin-Cushion Star, Pin-Cushion Sea Star, Pin-Cushion Starfish.
