Biology:Glabraster
From HandWiki
Glabraster is a genus of starfish in the family Poraniidae. It is monotypic, the sole species being Glabraster antarctica.[1] It is also known as the red spiny cushion star.[2]
Glabraster antarctica is found in the Southern Ocean, southern Pacific Ocean, and southern Atlantic Ocean[3][2] on rock, sand, and shell substrates from the intertidal zone down to a depth of 900 m (3,000 ft).[2] Although morphologically variable, genetic analyses do not support splitting this species into subspecies.[4]
