In honor of World Pasta Day, meet the “ravioli” sea star. This goniasterid sea star, Plinthaster dentatus, was encountered multiple times during the Windows to the Deep 2019: Exploration of the Deep-sea Habitats of the Southeastern United States expedition. This species stands out because the arms and disk are nearly confluent, thus presenting a more pentagonal shape relative to other sea stars. And it does indeed look a bit like a tasty ravioli!
