Size and Length
As it turns out, the Sunstar is quite unlike it’s common relative. It can have as many as fifty different arms, and grow to a size of a standard car wheel. It’s skin is full of small pincers, evolved to shut and trap anything that touches them. Krill don’t stand much of a chance when coming into contact with one of these, and often the Sunstar is mistaken for what the average person would call a fairly unaggressive octopus.

The Vast Nature Of Marine Life
While Sunstars aren’t exactly welcoming, they do provide a curious insight into just how different certain species can be in various parts around the world. Conditions in Antarctica mean that species are forced to evolve or die. This is backed up by the fact that so few fish can actually survive in these harsh and icy conditions. Unlike a common starfish in warmer conditions, the sunstar is high up on the food change in this particular region.
