I have a fascinating new starfish from Wet Pets. I have identified it as some variety of Ophiomastix sp. (perhaps a Ophiomastix annulosa). Here is a picture of it...

The original picture linked here (http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=116805705&size=o) is the original, which shows nicely the beautiful patterning on the legs, including some of the knobby spines.

Here is a picture of a closeup.
