Info

Pisaster ochraceus (Brandt, 1835)

Pisaster giganteus occurs along the west coast of North-West America, across Southern California to British Columbia and inhabits rocky coasts in the intertidal zone.
The starfish can reach over 60 cm in diameter, its color is variable, brown-red or purple.

Pisaster giganteus is usually found on sheltered coasts at low tide.
It often sits on rocks, pillars or on the sand.

The large starfish feeds predatorily on mussels, snails and barnacles.

The giant starfish has few predators, sea otters and seabirds eat it.
The larvae are eaten by certain species of sea snails.
