Micgrant:
I've searching for information about what they feed on, but I've found nothing
Nicole:
They are very brightly coloured ranging from red, orange to dark purple. Occasionally they can have spots along their body, these spots will be a darker colour compared to the colour of their body. In my case i've only seen the red ones :)
Wonder who named this fellow 'purple' starfish :D
Great photo!
Eats?
