Biscuit Star

This Starfish doesn't look anything like any biscuit we know, so we are not entirely sure how it got its name.

This starfish is only found in Australia and it really stand out underwater due to it's bright orange and white pattern. The pattern comes from the fact that it is covered in interlocking armour plates. It clearly isn't the brightest starfish as it wouldn't need the plates if it wasn't so brightly coloured.
