Γεννητική Ωρίμανση: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 70.0 cm WD αρσενικό/απροσδιόριστο; (Αναφ. 114120); 22 cm WD (female)
Maximum length of female (Ref. 106625) is based on occurrence; to be replaced with a better reference. Values are in diameter. Subtidal (Ref. 106814). Not commonly found intertidally; from sublittoral to a depth of around 180 m (Ref. 106815). Inhabits heterogeneous muddy sandy bottom (Ref. 106592). Mobile carnivorous species (Ref. 96498).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Eggs | Γονιμότητα | Larvae
Members of the class Asteroidea exhibit both asexual (regeneration and clonal) and sexual (gonochoric) means of reproduction. Life cycle: Embryos hatch into planktonic larvae and later metamorphose into pentamorous juveniles which develop into young sea stars with stubby arms.
