X-ray of a starfish
Starfish. X-ray of a starfish (phylum: Echino-dermata), seen in ventral view. Starfish live exclusively in the marine environment. So-called because of their star-shape, they typically have five arms projecting from a central disc. At the centre is the mouth. Skeletal plates occur along the edges of the arms to form a hard protective coat. As is visible here, there are grooves along the underside of the arms which contain small podia (suction feet) by which the starfish moves. Most starfish are scavengers and carnivores and feed on marine snails, bivalves, even fish

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate X-ray image of a starfish, providing us with a mesmerizing glimpse into the inner workings of this fascinating marine creature. Belonging to the phylum Echinodermata, starfish are exclusively found in the vast expanse of our oceans. Renowned for their distinctive star-shaped appearance, they typically possess five arms that extend from a central disc. At the heart of this celestial arrangement lies their mouth. The skeletal plates lining the edges of each arm form a robust protective layer, shielding these enigmatic beings from potential harm. As we observe closely, we can discern grooves running along the underside of their arms. Within these grooves reside small podia or suction feet that enable graceful locomotion through water. Starfish exhibit diverse dietary preferences as scavengers and carnivores within marine ecosystems. Their menu includes delectable treats such as marine snails, bivalves, and even fish! This remarkable photograph not only highlights their unique anatomy but also offers valuable insights into their ecological role. Nature enthusiasts and zoology aficionados will find themselves captivated by this stunning visual representation captured by Science Photo Library—an awe-inspiring testament to the wonders hidden beneath our ocean's surface.
