With about 1600 known species, starfish form the second largest animal group within the echinoderms after the brittle stars. Starfish inhabit all seas from the coast to the deep sea and can develop from zero (Culcita ssp./ cushion starfish) to fifty arms (Labidiaster ssp./ sun starfish).
The installation of the zoological specimen in the front glazed frame was made in a German taxidermy studio.
