Leather Sea Star (Dermasterias imbricata) - stock photo

The Leather Sea Star (Dermasterias imbricata) is a distinctive sea star found along the west coast of North America. Recognizable by its smooth, leathery skin and pentagonal shape, it inhabits rocky intertidal and shallow subtidal zones. With a diameter of about 20 centimeters, it feeds on small invertebrates using tube feet and exhibits a unique crawling locomotion. Reproduction can occur sexually or asexually through fragmentation. As a carnivorous species, it plays a role in controlling prey populations, contributing to marine ecosystem balance.
