Culcita Schmideliana (pentagonal starfish)

Culcita schmideliana is a roughly pentagonal starfish with a leathery surface and a bloated appearance. It is subglobose in shape when fully mature, with a highly convex aboral (upper) surface and flat base. The aboral surface is studded with small conical spines (which supposedly never penetrate the papular zones [2]) and the oral (lower) surface has small granulations and is lined with large conical tubercles, closest to the ambulacral grooves and the rim is ovate in cross-section and the largest.
